Stinson Memorial Library
Stinson Memorial Library, Prairie School library in Anna, United States
The Stinson Memorial Library features limestone walls, concrete pillars at the entrance, and a continuous band of leaded glass windows around the upper section.
Robert Burns Stinson donated his estate to Anna in 1903, leading to the construction of this public library between 1913 and 1914.
The library includes an auditorium with a performance stage and five windows, serving as a venue for local community gatherings and educational programs.
The building contains multiple levels connected by three flights of stairs, with the main library area located above and the auditorium space positioned below.
Walter Burley Griffin selected Chicago contractor F.P. Mueller over a lower bid from St. Louis to ensure precise execution of his architectural vision.
