119 W French

Located just north of the newly renovated downtown Temple. This Property is on the busy intersection of North 3rd and French Ave. The Temple EMS Station and City of Temple Municipal Court are directly South of this location. It originally housed six stores, and tenants included a pharmacy, a grocery store, a bakery, and a dry cleaner. The museum bought the building in 2001 and it was renovated in 2003.

The SPJST (Library, Archives & Museum) has been in this location in some form or fashion since 2001. The museum has been operating under the direction of the SPJST Foundation since January 2023. This week, the 6,900-square-foot museum building was placed on the market for an asking price of $800,000. If the building sells, the museum will be relocated.
