The brick corner building stands out for its arched windows and the sculpted niche set into its facade. Its solid masonry and decorative detail reflect a common approach to civic architecture, when towns used stone-and-brick ornament to signal that a library was a serious public institution. In the early twentieth century, Andrew Carnegie funded more than 1,600 libraries across the United States, and many followed this kind of durable, decorated design. The record does not name the building, so its specific origins remain unclear, but the corner entrance and carved details are worth a closer look.
