History
A library association was organized in 1903 to seek a Carnegie Foundation grant. It received a $6,140 grant in 1905.[3]
The one-story red brick building was designed by architect A. T. Simmons of Bloomington, Illinois in an eclectic style. It has a raised rusticated limestone block foundation. It was completed around 1906, and is about 50 by 30 feet (15.2 m × 9.1 m) in plan.[3]
It was listed on the National Register as part of a study on Carnegie libraries in Kansas.[4]
As of 2022, it is still the Downs public library.
