Inscription. The library was once the site of the Mechanic Street Garage, built in 1920 by Fred Allen to service our new automobile business. Fire destroyed the building in 1950, and Louis T. Oster rebuilt it as a Chevrolet agency. The Jordan Free Library Association purchased the building in 1970.
