Long Description:The Carnegie Public Library building was built in 1901 using funds
from a grant from Andrew Carnegie. The building was designed by
Jefferson City architect Frank B. Miller, who had designed many of
the prominent public buildings in Jefferson City of the era. The
building was slated for demolition after the new library was built
next door however public outcry saved the building and it now used
by the Cole County Assessors Office and a division of the State
Public Defenders Office.
The building is a contributing building in the Missouri State
Capitol Historic District on the National Register of Historic
Places.
