Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Carnegie Public Library (Boise, Idaho) is a Neoclassical building designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in Boise, Idaho, in 1904–1905.[1] It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 1982 it was included as a contributing property in the Fort Street Historic District.[2]
History
The Boise Public Library began in 1895 when members of the Columbian Club opened a subscription library and reading room in Boise City Hall.[3] When Boise received a grant in 1904 to build a Carnegie library, local architects John Tourtellotte and Charles Hummel won the design contract, and the local firm of Michels & Weber received the construction contract. Materials included white brick fired in Boise and sandstone from nearby Table Rock.[4] Boise's Carnegie Library opened June 22, 1905,[3] and Mary F. Wood became its first librarian.[5]
In 1973 the Boise Public Library moved to a larger building, formerly occupied by Salt Lake Hardware, at 715 S. Capitol Blvd., and in 1974 the Carnegie Library was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
The building was occupied by a law firm until 2018 when it was repurposed for artists as studio space.[6]
