Mr. Mauran was also the architect for the Oval and the Consolidated School, as well as for the remodeled Town Hall. Mrs. Farnham selected local contractor, Alamander L. Ball, as builder. In addition, to building the Library, Mr. Ball was the contractor for "Knollwood" and Emrnanuel Church. Mr. Ball was one of the first permanent Library Trustees, along with Henry D.
