Seneca to restore Faith Cabin Library

Restoration plans have been approved for the Faith Cabin Library in Seneca. At their special called meeting this week, the Seneca City Council unanimously approved a contract with Nick Gambrell not to exceed $50,000 to restore the old building. Seneca Mayor Dan Alexander feels it is important to preserve our history and heritage. “Its a one room log cabin that we are going restore back to its original condition and its exciting because it is a piece of heritage here in this community. At one time we had a Black Junior College here that closed down in I think it was 1939. This library has been on this site for many, many years and to be able to be a part of preserving that history and making sure that we tell that story is very important to me and it is to this council too. So, I appreciate them being supportive of preserving a part of history. Nick Gambrell has been selected to do the renovations.” Hospitality and Accommodations Tax (HAT) money will be used to fund the restoration project, which is anticipated to take six months.
