St. Johns Library, Georgian architecture library in St. Johns, Portland, United States.
The brick building features symmetrical design with tall windows, classical proportions, and a central entrance marked by ornamental columns and decorative moldings.
Established in 1913, the library evolved from a small deposit station of 300 books to become an essential part of the Multnomah County Library system.
During World War II, the building served multiple community functions, including hosting the Rations Board for workers in nearby shipyards.
The 6,381-square-foot facility houses 25,000 volumes and provides access to Multnomah County Library's collection of two million materials.
The 2000 renovation preserved the original Georgian architectural elements while incorporating modern amenities such as self-checkout stations and security gates.
