The architecturally eclectic single-story brick building was designed by Boston architect Willard P.

Its construction was funded by a bequest from Ossian Wilbur Goss, a local doctor who had died without natural heirs. The building officially became a branch of the Laconia library system in 1909, and continues to administered in part by trustees of Goss's legacy.The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
