Medford Carnegie Library - Medford, Oregon - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Prior to 1908, this site contained the City of Medford's water tower. In 1911, architect J.A. McIntosh designed this library as the standard Carnegie Library plan across the country: a single story atop a high basement. In 1951, a two-story annex was added, extending the life of this structure for library use for an additional 63 years. The building was vacated in 2004 when all services were moved to a new library building in downtown Medford. During renovation of the City Hall building in 2009, city staff relocated temporarily to this building, but it is once again vacant.
