“It was just there in the office,” Memphis Public Libraries director Keenon McCloy said of the painting left on her desk at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library earlier this month. (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian)
The painting shows the Cossitt Library shortly after or just before its 1958 renovation when the midcentury modern front of the landmark was added.
