Additional Description: Former Newberry-Saluda Regional Library. This Renaissance Revival building was built in 1911 as the Newberry Post Office with James Knox Taylor as superintending architect. It remained in continuous use as the city's post office until 1962 and in 1966 was acquired by the library board for conversion as a regional library. The building is a massive stone and brick rectangular structure on a raised basement under a hipped tile roof with flared overhangs. The facade is composed of a five-bay Doric arcade in antis, built of stone, flanked by brick pavilions with single pedimented windows. The central entrance is approached by twin flights of stone stairs. A bracketed entablature, with polychrome paneled soffits, is superimposed above the arcade and pavilions.
