Leake-Ingham Library

Built in 1850 in Camden (Ouachita County) as a law office for attorney William W. Leake, the Greek Revival-style Leake-Ingham Building later housed Camden’s office of the Federal Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands (Freedmen’s Bureau). The building also once functioned as Ouachita County’s first library.
