It was built in 1925, and is a two-story-over-raised-basement, T-shaped brick veneered building with Neo-Classical Revival architecture and Beaux Arts design influences. It has a concrete foundation, reinforced concrete walls, limestone decorative elements, and a standing seam metal roof. It was the first public library in Florence.
