East Washington Branch, Carnegie library in Indianapolis, United States.
East Washington Branch is a library building in Indianapolis constructed with dark red brick and decorative terra cotta details along its facade. The structure features a truncated hipped roof and sits prominently on East Washington Street.
The building opened in 1911 through funding from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, which supported six branch libraries in Indianapolis. This reflected Carnegie's nationwide effort to establish libraries in communities across America.
The branch serves as a community gathering place where neighbors borrow books, join programs, and connect with one another. The interior draws people of different ages who use the computers and attend local events.
The building sits at 2822 East Washington Street with accessible entrances on the east side for easy access. Visitors can stop by during regular Monday to Saturday hours.
From March to October, the library runs a Seed Library program that lets members borrow seeds for gardening. This program lets gardeners experiment with new plant varieties without buying them.
