Thomas Scott Buckham Memorial Library
Thomas Scott Buckham Memorial Library, Art Deco library in Faribault, United States.
The Thomas Scott Buckham Memorial Library is an Art Deco library building with limestone walls and a tall tower. A large arched stained-glass window forms a prominent feature of the structure.
The building was established in 1929 as a memorial after a widow donated funds to honor her late husband. The structure later gained recognition by being added to the national historic register.
The interior murals depict scenes from ancient Greece and were created by a regional artist. Visitors can still admire these works in their original form today.
The location is publicly accessible and features spacious interior rooms that are easy to explore. Visiting requires no special arrangements or advance reservations.
The building uses dolomite stone from a local quarry in the region. This specific material gives the structure a distinctive visual character.
