The Westerly Memorial and Public Library was built in 1894 and was designed by Longstaff and Hurd in the Richardson Romanesque Revival style. It was built with funds from Stephen Wilcox in 1892.[3] Originally the building also housed a bowling alley, gymnasium, art gallery, museum and a meeting space for the members of the Grand Army of the Republic.[4] An eastern addition was built in 1928. Additions were also built in 1902, 1992 and a final addition was built in 1994, which increased the size of the building by nearly double.[4]
Opened on August 15, 1894, it is maintained by the Memorial and Library Association of Westerly.[5][6]
