Old Library, Carnegie library in Rhosddu, Wrexham, United Kingdom.
The Old Library features Flemish bond brickwork, an ashlar lower storey, dressed stone details, and a graded slate roof with a square-section cupola.
Built in 1906 with Carnegie Trust funding, the Grade II listed building served as a public library until 1973 when it transitioned into council offices.
The library housed reading programs and literary events, supporting education initiatives throughout the early 20th century for Wrexham's growing population.
Located at the intersection of Queen Street and Hope Street at 84 meters elevation, the building maintains its original architectural elements.
The symmetrical five-window range main block includes pilasters framing a segmental open pediment with a coat of arms above the entrance.
