Faith and Family Church - Antioch, CA - Carnegie Library Buildings on Waymarking.com

"Antioch was a very small town when it received its $2500 Carnegie grant, one of the three smallest California Carnegie grants. The stucco building, at the corner of Sixth and F streets, is an example of Classical Revival elements applied to a small public building in a mostly residential area.

Antioch's first reading room dates from 1867. In 1912 a letter from the Antioch Women's Club spurred a visit by library organizer Harriet Eddy, and in 1913 a county library was established which then sought a Carnegie grant for branches in Antioch, Concord, and Walnut Creek. A grant of $7500 was received for the three. Antioch itself raised $800 for the lot, and later $329.50 for additional costs, by public subscription. Frances Reid designed the building. Following its years as a library, the Carnegie has housed the Senior Citizens Center, City Recreation Department, and Antioch Historical Center." (visit link)
