Colton Carnegie Library, Carnegie library in Colton, US
The Neoclassical building at 380 North La Cadena Drive features an entrance portico supported by Ionic columns and an ornamented pediment above the entrance.
The library construction in 1908 was made possible through a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation as part of a nationwide initiative for public education.
The building hosted numerous community meetings and social groups, and even functioned as a church while maintaining its primary role as a public library.
The original Carnegie library building now houses the Colton Area Museum after the library services moved to a larger facility in 1982.
Franklin P. Burnham designed this Classical Revival structure as the only example of Neoclassical architecture found within the city of Colton.
