At 304 North Church Street, Church Street Elementary School was built in 1901-1902 to bring a school to Bowling Green's Fourth Ward alongside Ridge School in the First Ward and South Main School in the Second Ward. After Conneaut and Kenwood Elementary Schools were built, the building became the Bowling Green School District Library in 1956, when the library moved there from Bowling Green High School on West Wooster Street; in 1969 it became the Wood County District Public Library, and in 1974 the library moved to 251 North Main Street. In 1976, Bowling Green city administrative offices moved into 304 North Church Street from the old City Building on West Wooster Street, and in July 2023 the offices moved to the new City Building at 305 North Main Street and the 122-year-old building was torn down. At 305 North Main Street, the United States Post Office, a mostly Neoclassical structure, was built in 1913 and opened in 1914 at a cost of $60,000, serving as the city's only substantial federal building for sixty years until the U.S. Postal Service moved to the new Federal Building on West Washington Street in 1974. The city purchased that building in October 1976 for $105,000, renovated it from 1978 to 1979 for use as a planned senior citizens center, and it was placed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its distinctive combination of Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival styles. The Wood County Senior Center moved there in February 1981, and after the Senior Center relocated in 2021, Bowling Green demolished all but the historic facade and constructed a new, larger building behind it, opening the new City Administrative Services Building in July 2023. The history of the Wood County District Public Library began with the Bowling Green Library Association in 1875, followed by a 1911 campaign by The Shakespeare Round Table to establish the first public library; the library opened in 1914 in the back of the Exchange Bank building, was renamed the Wood County Public Library and moved to the McKenzie-Kabig building in 1919, merged with the High School Library in 1928 to become the Bowling Green School District Library in the new high school on West Wooster Street, moved to 304 North Church Street in 1956, was renamed the Wood County District Public Library in 1969, opened a new North Main Street building in 1974, moved temporarily to 1141 South Main Street during renovation in 2002, reopened the renovated building in 2003, and acquired the Carter House at 307 North Church Street in 2006.
