Originally built as a church in 1903, the Tyrrell Historical Library is a beloved landmark in the city of Beaumont, about 90 miles east of Houston.

In 1923, oil tycoon "Captain W. C." Tyrrell purchased the church and donated the building to the city to be used as a library, which opened in 1926. Exhibiting Richardsonian Romanesque and Victorian Gothic architecture styles, the stone castlelike structure is easily one of the most beautiful libraries in the Lone Star State. Outside, it features dramatic archways and stained glass windows, while inside are extensive archives of materials relating to the culture and history of southeast Texas.
