The James is one of the finest examples of Victorian Architecture in the Historic District of Norwell. Built by Leander Sherman of North Marshfield, the Italianate design included "Queen Anne style windows, which had not been seen in such novel appearance anywhere in the district". The library was named in honor of its earliest and most generous contributor, Josiah L. James.
Stop by and check out our Art Exhibit in our lower gallery, it changes monthly and is by local artists.
