Carnegie Library, Neoclassical library in Lawton, United States
The Carnegie Library in Lawton features symmetrical shapes, buff-tan brick construction, and white limestone trim at the intersection of B Avenue and 5th Street.
Built in 1922 as part of Andrew Carnegie's nationwide library initiative, the structure received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The library stands as a center for educational resources, community programs, and knowledge sharing, continuing its mission of promoting literacy in Lawton.
The building expanded its original 52-foot square footprint with a 40-foot extension on the north side in 1952 to accommodate additional library services.
Architect J.W. Smith incorporated Classical Revival elements into the design, creating a structure that reflects early 20th-century architectural preferences.
