A Western Auto store was located on the south side of Felix between 9th & 10th
The city was in need for an off-street parking area for the main library
The city purchased the entire block of buildings, had them removed and created a large parking lot
The parking lot is bounded by 9th-10th Streets and Felix-Edmond Streets
