Quincy's Crane Public Library, named for its benefactor Richard Teller Crane, stands as one of the civic buildings that the city's wealthy industrialists funded around the turn of the twentieth century. Quincy was then known for its granite quarries, whose stone shaped many public and commercial structures across the region, and the library reflected the era's belief that free reading rooms could improve working people's lives. Its architecture and placement at the heart of the city make it a useful window onto how Massachusetts towns of that period expressed civic pride.
