Carnegie Public Library, Carnegie library in Tyler, United States
The Carnegie Public Library stands at 125 South College Street, constructed with limestone and brick materials under a red tile roof design by Patton & Miller.
Built in 1904 with a $15,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, this library served as Tyler's main educational center until 1980 when operations moved across the street.
The Smith County Historical Society maintains extensive collections of regional artifacts and documents within the building, supporting research about Texas history.
Located in downtown Tyler, the Carnegie History Center offers free admission and operates five days per week with dedicated parking on the building's west side.
The 1904 structure became the first building in downtown Tyler with running water, featuring an original washroom that remains visible to current visitors.
