The Rockland Public Library in Rockland, Maine, is an architecturally significant civic building that showcases the coastal towns prosperity at the turn of the 20th century. The library was built in 190304, and was funded in part by a $20,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie. It is the citys only major example of Beaux Arts architecture, a style that is also uncommon in the state. The library was designed by Maine native George Clough,who used granite quarried from nearby Vinalhaven in its construction. The building was later expanded by an addition at the rear, but from the street, the handsome Beaux Arts library looks near-identical as to when it was built over 120 years ago!
