Initially functioning as a rest house and a post office, Fort William underwent a transformation and was repurposed as a state prison, a role it fulfilled until 2001. Today, the fort has undergone another metamorphosis and currently serves as a community library, enriching the lives of the people of Anomabu. This conversation not only preserves its historical significance but also stands a a beacon of knowledge and learning within the local community.
