The Waterloo Public Library is a historic building located in
J.G. Ralston designed both buildings in the Neoclassical style. They were both dedicated on February 23, 1906. The single-story brick structure has a projecting entrance pavilion capped with a triangular pediment that is supported by Ionic columns. Also noteworthy are the corner piers that feature bands of brick squares set into the stone.[4] In 1977 voters in Waterloo approved a $3,650,000 bond referendum to renovate the city's 1938 post office and federal building to house the library.[2] The post office vacated the building in 1979 when it relocated. The old library building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
It now houses law offices.
