The Enlow Building
Constructed in 1904, this building was established as West Branch’s first public library, made possible through a generous donation of land and $5,000 from Huldah Enlow. The one-room structure served as the community’s library for nearly a century, providing generations of residents with access to books and learning.
In 1963, the front entrance was enclosed, marking one of the few modifications to the building over its long history. Remarkably, it has remained largely unchanged since that time.
Today, this historic structure continues to serve the community as the office of the West Branch Times, the town’s local newspaper.
