## Main Library

The main library building was designed by the [Chicago](/source/Chicago) architectural firm of [Patton & Miller](/source/Patton_%26_Miller) and funded by [Andrew Carnegie](/source/Andrew_Carnegie).[2] The [Beaux-Arts](/source/Beaux-Arts_architecture) style building was constructed by Daniel Haring from 1903 to 1904. It is a two-story structure built on top of a raised basement. The exterior walls are composed of cut and dressed [limestone](/source/Limestone). An addition was built in the rear of the original building and houses the main two-level stack area. A modern canopy was added over the entry at grade level to the basement. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
