The distinctive white columned building that is the Howard Gardner Nichols Memorial Library became the first public lending library building erected in Alabama. During World War II the old library was operated as a child care center so women could work in the Dwight Manufacturing Company cotton mill. Cone Mills sold the building to Hamil family in 1971. They operated a day care center until 1973. On June 30, 1973 the library was sold to the NorthEast Alabama Genealogical Society.
The building is located at 1 Cabot Avenue Gadsden, AL 35901.
