When the HEB Building was built at 18th and Austin in 1951, the Waco Public Library was in the old Cameron home across Austin Avenue. It was like this until the Cameron Home was torn down in 1960 for the construction of the current Waco- McLennan County Library, which opened in 1962.

The photo of HEB was contributed by Myron Patrick King and the photo of the Cameron House is from The Texas Collection, Baylor University.
