In 1953, Butler constructed a 1,820 square foot building, and the Library Board approved a five-year lease of the structure. On July 20, 1953, the community gathered in great numbers to celebrate the Henry Adams Branch reopening. This structure, while no longer occupied by the branch library, is still standing.
