Huff Memorial Library, Historic library in Jackson, Wyoming.
Huff Memorial Library in Jackson is a single-story building on South King Street featuring rustic architectural elements made from natural wood throughout. Today it functions as a county office building and remains open to the public during standard business hours.
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.
Architect Paul Colbron designed this building with architectural details that led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Its rustic wood construction displays design features typical of WPA projects from that era.
