The Tallulah Book Club Building is a special old building in Tallulah, Louisiana. You can find it at 515 Dabney Street. It was built a long time ago, in 1930.

About the Building
The Tallulah Book Club Building was designed by a talented architect named William Stanton. He used a cool style called Spanish Revival and Mission Revival. These styles often feature things like stucco walls, red tile roofs, and arches. They make buildings look like they belong in sunny places like Spain or California.
Its Purpose
For many years, this building was a clubhouse for women. It also served as a place where people could borrow books, like a local library. It was a helpful spot for the community and the surrounding area.
A Special Club
The group that used the building was first called the Tallulah Literary Club. It was started in 1902 by a group of women. When they got their own building, it was a big deal! They became the only Federated Women's Club in Louisiana to own their very own building. This was a proud achievement for them.
