Grass Valley Public Library
Grass Valley Public Library, Neoclassical Carnegie library in Grass Valley, California.
The red brick building features white pilasters and classical architectural elements at the intersection of Mill and Neal Streets in downtown Grass Valley.
Built in 1916 with a $15,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, the library replaced the Emmanuel Church Library that operated since 1901.
The library received its current name, Grass Valley Library-Royce Branch, in 2005 to honor philosopher Josiah Royce who lived at this location.
The upper level contains adult services with computers while the lower floor provides dedicated spaces for children and teenagers.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this building in 1992 for its architectural and historical importance in California.
