From Wikipedia:

Yukon Public Library

The Yukon Public Library is a brick-and-mortar Colonial Revival structure located in Yukon, Oklahoma. It was the original public library for the city of Yukon, constructed in 1927 for $4,500 raised by the Yukon Ladies Library Club.

The club continued to financially support and operate the library until 1979, when the city of Yukon assumed responsibility. A new library was constructed and opened in 1980, and the old library building was used as a utility shed and storage. The Yukon Chamber of Commerce currently occupies the building. Today, Yukon's Mabel C. Fry Public Library serves the community of Yukon and Canadian County.

It was designed by architects Sorey & Vahlberg of Oklahoma City.
