Eudora Welty Library building in Jackson to be demolished
SUMMARY: The Eudora Welty Library building in Jackson, originally a Sears store in 1946 and later a public library, is slated for demolition. After falling into disrepair, the city has ceased its maintenance, and the library board decided to relocate. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) is involved in plans to replace the historic building with a green public park, reflecting Jackson’s original 1822 design. The park is being designed by a national firm and will connect the Two Mississippi Museums and State Street. Noble T. Crigler donated the first $1 million, with additional funding from the Mississippi Legislature and private donations. The new park will be named after Crigler’s late wife, Margaret Ann Crigler. MDAH is also working to help relocate the library downtown.
