Lockhart, Texas
The Clark Library is Texas' oldest continually operating public library, a distinction that motivated the citizens of Lockhart to pursue growth options that kept the library in its original 1899 building. The answer was to expand into the adjacent, 3 story Masonic Lodge Building.
Norman Alston Architects initially served as the City's project manager for Phase i, which restored the original Clark Library and expanded into the Masonic's Ground Floor. For Phase II, the firm provided architectural services to further expand the library into the 2nd Floor and creating a new City Council chambers on the 3rd Floor.
