Duluth Public Library
Duluth Public Library, Carnegie library in Duluth, United States
The library building at 101 West Second Street features a neoclassical design with four ionic columns and a circular dome at the top.
Andrew Carnegie donated 50,000 dollars in 1899 for the construction of this building, which opened its doors to the public in April 1902.
The facility operated as the main library of Duluth until 1980, providing educational resources and literature access to multiple generations of local residents.
The structure underwent a complete renovation after 1980 and now functions as an office building while maintaining its place on the National Register.
Two stained glass windows created by Anne Weston and manufactured by Louis C. Tiffany Studios decorated the original interior of the building.
