Fremont Public Library, Seattle, WA - Carnegie Library Buildings on Waymarking.com

The Fremont Public Library began with a $35,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie in 1917, under the condition that the community would provide the land, books, and staff. The community raised an additional $7,000 through donations and fundraisers, and the City of Seattle donated the remaining $3,000 needed to purchase a $10,000 plot of land for the new library.

Architect Daniel R. Huntington (1871-1962) designed a stucco and red tile roof Mission Revival building, common in the Southwest US but unusual for the Pacific Northwest. The 2-storey building featured a 2,708 sq ft main floor and a 1,068 sq ft lower level. Total cost of construction was $36,939. The library opened on July 27, 1921 and remains a branch of the Seattle Public Library to this day.
