Memphis`s first public library opened at the corner of Front and Monroe in 1893. It all began with a wealthy businessman named Frederick H. Cossitt, who wanted to thank the city for its hospitality, by building a library. Unfortunately he died in 1887 before this happened. However his daughters decided to honor their father`s pledge and donated $75,000 to be placed in trust until plans for the library could be completed. Memphis agreed to provide the lot and the working expenses and awarded Atlanta architect L. B. Wheeler the contract for the building.
