Carnegie Public Library, Main library in Huntington, United States.
The Carnegie Public Library features gray ashlar walls, paired columns, and classical authors' names inscribed around its decorative frieze.
Built in 1902 with a $35,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, the library opened on January 1, 1904, with an initial collection of 750 books.
The building represents the early 20th-century Beaux-Arts architectural style common in American public buildings of that period.
The structure now houses Huntington Junior College after serving as the city's main library until 1980 when operations moved across the street.
A Union soldier statue stood near the entrance until 1915, when it disappeared during discussions about installing a Confederate monument.
