Designed by the Cleveland firm of Walker and Weeks in a classical revival style, it was constructed with Indiana limestone on a pink Georgia marble base.[2] It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on 1982-11-30 and is a Cleveland Landmark.[3] Along with serving as a library, the building's 450 seat auditorium serves as classroom for students of Case Western Reserve University.[4]
