Carnegie Free Library
636 F Street
Eureka
Built 1902-1904
The Eureka Carnegie Free Library is significant for its role as the city's public library, built by one of California's earliest Carnegie Library grants.
The elegant Classical Revival structure, which was designed by local architects Knowles Evans and B. C. Tarver, is a handsome and rare example of its type of architecture in Eureka and the surrounding area. It is significant for the excellence of its construction, and in the use of finely detailed redwood panelling native to this area in the interior.
