Architectural Process
The Trustees engaged the service of an architect and began to draft
plans for the new building. Sadly the chosen architect, Charles T.
("Ted") Bellingrath, passed away in November 2005, at which time the
concept phase of the building design process had been completed. Some
months were spent carefully considering the choice of a successor
architect. Ultimately, the Library was fortunate to obtain the service
of Jeremiah Ford, III, founder and principal of Ford3 Architects. Jerry
has undertaken the design development phase of the Library building
project with great care, insight and enthusiasm.
