Wright Memorial Public Library is being nominated under Criterion C for its architectural distinction as an excellent example of a Tudor or Jacobethan Revival style library designed by the local Dayton, Ohio, architecture firm of Schenck and Williams. Schenck and Williams were responsible for the designs of much of the civic architecture in Oakwood, which, in addition to the library, includes three public schools, the city administration building, and a large-scale apartment building, all in the Tudor or Jacobethan Revival style. They also designed a number of private houses in Oakwood, also in the Tudor style, as well as a number of office and other buildings for businesses and institutions in Dayton. Built in 1939, Wright Memorial Public Library is important as an extant example of the firm's work, and their ability to apply architectural conventions of a style to a variety of building types. A complete inventory of Schenck and Williams buildings does not exist; therefore, it is not known if this is their only library design. What is known is that Wright Memorial Public Library is a well-preserved example of a Tudor-styled library with its half-timbering, casement windows, Flemish bond brick work, a steeply-pitched slate-covered roof, multi-paned windows, large window bays, and stone decoration at doors, windows and gable ends, all prominent elements characteristic of the Tudor Revival style. In 1939, at the time of construction, the Tudor style was still a popular architecture choice. But the choice of Tudor architecture and the firm of Schenck and Williams are also representative ot he city of Oakwood's tradition of rewarding civic building designs to this well-respected firm and using their signature style.

The national library was built in honour of His Majesty the King of Thailand. The historically site was once the city hall of Nakhon Phanom. It was constructed by the inmates of the provincial prison. The blueprint for this building was a copy of Chiang Rai province city hall. The western style infrastructure was once demolished by cannon balls fired from French Battleships during a dispute between Thailand (Siam) and France. The association of Siamese Architects has awarded the Pavilion for its excellent conservation.

After having completed a series of arms control inspections under the terms of the Dayton Accord, under the auspices of the Organisation for Security & Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), on return to Sarajevo they provided us with a driver who took us on a "cultural" of the city. This driver was a university professor who considered himself lucky to get a job with the OSCE as a driver.
He explained to us, clearly distressed, that during the siege of Sarajevo, during which the Serbs in the heights above the city shelled and mortared the city, one night, targeted the Central Library, an imposing Islamic building which was a repository of centuries of priceless books and manuscripts. Today, the library has been restored, but most of the books were lost for ever, consumed by the flames.
