The Earl W. Brydges Building was designed by Paul Rudolph and built by Albert Elia Company.

[3] In 1901, Niagara Falls was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation[4] and a new site on Main Street was chosen for a brand new library building.

On October 26, 1970, a resolution was passed by Niagara Falls City Council naming the building in honor of Senator Earl W. Brydges.

The City of Niagara Falls sued both Rudolph and the construction company, Albert Elia, for damages and the lawsuits were settled in 1984.
