The building stands at 3 North Elm Street and now operates as a public library offering educational resources to visitors. You can explore it easily since the Renaissance Revival architecture remains clearly visible throughout the interior and exterior.
The structure underwent a million-dollar restoration by the Bank of Three Oaks that brought back much of its original character and design details. This major renovation work preserved the building's historical integrity while allowing it to serve new purposes today.
