Albright Memorial Building
Albright Memorial Building, Public library in Scranton, United States.
The Albright Memorial Building features Indiana limestone walls, Medina stone details, and Spanish tiles covering its roof in châteauesque architectural style.
After Joseph Albright's death, his children donated the land where their family house stood to construct this library, which opened its doors in May 1893.
The library contains stained glass windows by Edwin Ford and Frederick Brooks that illustrate important figures from the history of books and literature.
The building houses extensive collections, computer services, and weekly events including movie screenings, craft workshops, and technology assistance sessions for the community.
Frederick Law Olmsted designed the original landscape of the library grounds, with a dogwood tree planted by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
