Its NRHP nomination argues that the building is one of Mobridge's most important buildings" and that it "provides a good example of the type of architecture prevalent during the eclectic period: The library borrows from the classical, Jacobethan, and English Medieval modes. The library has been and continues to be a purveyor of educational material to the community. Also the building is important because it represents the philanthropy of A.H.Brown, a successful local businessman."
