Old Mishawaka Carnegie Library

The Old Mishawaka Carnegie Library features oriental brick construction with terra cotta details and a limestone column-supported entrance portico at North Hill Street.

The Carnegie Foundation provided a grant of $30,000 in January 1915 to establish this public library, which opened its doors in 1916.

The library represents the early twentieth century movement to increase public access to education and literature through local community institutions.

The Works Progress Administration expanded the original structure in 1937, and the building now functions as an event space at coordinates 41.661389, -86.184444.

The Jacobethan Revival architecture of the building incorporates medieval English design elements, making it a notable example of this style in Indiana.
