Hanford Carnegie Library - Hanford, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The building was built in 1905, in the Romanesque Revival style with Richardson Romanesque elements. It was one of the many Carnegie libraries that were funded by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, who awarded the city $12,500 to construct it.

The Hanford Library was open in the Carnegie building until 1968, when the city and Kings County libraries were combined and moved into new building. Concerned local citizens raised the money to save the old library building from destruction, and to renovate it." (visit link)
