The Dodge City Carnegie Library was built in 1906 using $7,500 in funds from Andrew Carnegie. The city had to provide the lot and a commitment of $700 per year for operations. The two story brick building was designed by architect C.W. Squires of Emporia, Kansas. In 1936 an addition to the building for a childrens' wing was constructed as a WPA project. The building continued to serve as a public library until 1970 at which time it was converted to business use. In 1981, the Arts Council preserved the building with funding from the community and a grant from the state preservation office. The building now serves as an art center.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979
