The Tallulah Book Club Building, located at 515 Dabney St. in Tallulah, Louisiana, was built in 1930. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]

It was designed by architect William Stanton in Spanish Revival/Mission Revival style.[2]

It has served as a women's clubhouse and as a lending library for the community and parish. It was originally named the Tallulah Literary Club, and was an organization founded in 1902 by a group of women. The building made them the only Federated Women's Club in Louisiana to own its own building.[2]
