Built in 1893 as the office of Dr. Dewell Gann, Sr., this is the only known bauxite building in existence. Patients who could not afford to pay for services he had rendered them constructed it. The soft stone was dug from a nearby farm, sawn into blocks with a handsaw, and allowed to harden for six weeks. The building served as the Gann Medical Office until 1946, when Dr. Dewell Gann, Jr. gave it to the City of Benton to be used as a library and later a museum.
