It was built in 1934 by AE Symes Ltd for Leyton Urban District Council, and the architect was James Ambrose Dartnall.[1]

According to Historic England, it is "an inter-war suburban branch library of considerable architectural ambition, which illustrates the most progressive library practice of the period ... interior is remarkable both in terms of its quality and completeness ... the art deco entrance hall and stair being of particular note".[1]
