"Sparta, located in southwestern Middle Tennessee, is the only major community and the county seat of rural White County. The White County Community Building is located on the south side of the public square in Sparta facing the White County Courthouse. Designed in the Classical Revival style, the Community Building reflects a popular style for many public buildings of the Depression era. The building has been well maintained and altered only slightly, retaining the majority of its original architectural features including: windows, bathroom fixtures, and light fixtures. The Community Building is set back from the street more than the rest of the buildings on the square, which provides a small grassy area in front of the building for a flagpole and a recently placed marker for White County veterans of World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. A retaining wall surrounds the north, south, and west facades and hides most of the raised basement from view."
