Tyrrell Historical Library, Public library branch in Beaumont, Texas.
The First Baptist Church building now houses the Tyrrell Historical Library, featuring pointed arch windows and original stained glass throughout its architecture.
Captain W.C. Tyrrell purchased and donated the church building to Beaumont in 1923, establishing the city's first public library which opened in 1926.
The library maintains an extensive collection of genealogical records, census microfilms, and significant Texana materials documenting Southeast Texas families and history.
Residents of Beaumont receive free library cards, while non-residents can obtain access to the collections and resources for a small fee.
The building combines Richardsonian Romanesque and Victorian Gothic architectural elements, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places.
