Richmond Memorial Library
Richmond Memorial Library, Public library in Batavia, New York, United States.
The Richmond Memorial Library occupies an L-shaped sandstone structure with an octagonal tower, copper conical roof, and red Albion stone decorative elements.
Built in 1887 by architect James Goold Cutler, the library was commissioned by Mary E. Richmond to honor her son Dean Richmond Jr, receiving historic status in 1974.
The reading room features oak wainscoting, iron chandeliers, and an arched fireplace, creating a traditional environment for literary exploration and community gatherings.
The library operates with a five-member board of trustees elected by Batavia City School District residents and remains open six days per week.
The building design drew inspiration from the Thomas Crane Public Library in Quincy, Massachusetts, incorporating Richardsonian Romanesque architectural elements.
