The Colfax branch of the Whitman County Libraries was recently listed on the Washington Heritage Register.
The library is recognized as historically significant because of its unique Neo-Expressionist design and its local importance in serving the educational needs of Whitman County residents.
The building was designed by Spokane architect Warren C. Heylman who is well-known for the Parkade Plaza Parking Garage in Spokane and the Spokane International Airport.
While recognized as one of the Inland Northwest’s most prominent post-WWII architects, this is the first building designed by Heylman to be added to the state’s Heritage Register.
Construction of the library began in early 1960 and the grand opening was held on November 18th, 1960.
