The building is located on Crosby St. The building is a two story brick building. At the top part of the building is the inscription "City Hall 1909."

" Tekoa is a city in Whitman County, Washington, United States. The population was 778 at the 2010 census. Tekoa was first settled in 1886 by David A. Huffman and George T. Huffman. The townsite was platted in 1888 and was named after the Biblical town.

Tekoa was incorporated in 1889 with just under 300 people. By 1910 the population had grown to 1,694. Over the next 60 years, Tekoa began a long decline. Mechanized farming reduced the need for workers, and the automobile age came into being. Younger people tended to move to cities for work. By 1990 the town had fewer than 750 residents. During the 1990s the town increased in popularity and the population rose to 826 at the 2000 census." (visit link)
