A rose window set high in the front gable and a squat corner tower distinguish this brick public library from the plainer reading rooms that filled many American towns in the early twentieth century. Libraries of this kind were often funded by local benefactors or by the Carnegie grants that spread across the country between 1883 and the 1920s, and their architects borrowed freely from Romanesque and Gothic models to give ordinary readers a sense of permanence. Buildings like this one were meant to signal that learning was a civic duty, so the carved stonework and the tall windows that flood the reading rooms with daylight are worth a close look.
