Huff Memorial Library, Historic library in Jackson, Wyoming.
Huff Memorial Library at 320 South King Street in Jackson is a single-story log building erected by the Works Progress Administration between 1938 and 1940. The county library moved to a new building in 1997, and the former library has since served as a county office building.
The building was constructed between 1938 and 1940 by the Works Progress Administration when Jackson's original library in St. John's House could no longer meet the town's growing needs. This construction was part of nationwide efforts during the Great Depression to create new public buildings.
The building honors Charles Huff, a physician who served the Jackson community for decades as its primary medical provider. His name reflects how the town valued his commitment to caring for residents.
The original library collection moved to a new facility in 1997, but the historic building remains accessible during county office hours. Visitors should keep in mind that it now serves as an administrative office, so hours may vary depending on county operations.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 2003. It should not be confused with the Teton County Library on Virginian Lane, the facility that took over the library role in 1997.
