Fairfield Public Library is located in

Richardsonian Romanesque style by Kansas City architect C. Stafford. It was officially opened on Friday, September 29, 1893, and it was dedicated on November 28 of the same year. The association continued to run the library until 1899 when voters approved a referendum to support it with taxes. The building has been altered in the ensuing years, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The library moved to a new building in 1996, and the historic building is now home to the Jefferson County Service Center of Indian Hills Community College
