Handley Library, Public library in Winchester, United States.
The limestone Beaux-Arts building features an octagonal base with a central dome and three-arched entrance facing Braddock and Piccadilly Streets.
Judge John Handley, an Irish-American coal magnate from Scranton, Pennsylvania, donated $250,000 in 1895 to establish a library for Winchester residents.
The library transformed from a segregated facility to an inclusive institution in December 1953, opening its doors to all Winchester residents regardless of race.
The Handley Library maintains regular operating hours from Monday through Thursday between 10 AM and 8 PM, and Friday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM.
The architectural design represents an open book, with the central dome symbolizing the spine and the extending wings representing the book covers.
