Larimer Memorial Library, Historical library on Reid Street in Palatka, Florida.
The limestone structure features arched windows and inscriptions reading 'Ignorance breeds crime' and 'Knowledge is power' on either side of the entrance.
James Ross Mellon commissioned architect Henry John Klutho to design the library in 1929, investing $100,000 in its construction and naming it after his wife Rachel.
The building transformed from a 50,000-volume library into the Larimer Arts Center in 1992, now hosting art exhibitions and theater performances for the community.
Located at 216 Reid Street, the Larimer Memorial Library received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in March 2008 under designation number 08000163.
The structure stands as one of three remaining well-maintained buildings designed by architect Henry John Klutho, combining Prairie School and Art Deco architectural elements.
