Carnegie Library, 500 National Ave Las Vegas, San Miguel County, NM
The library was funded by a grant from Andrew Carnegie, and was one of the 1679 libraries constructed between 1886 and 1917 through Carnegie`s program. Carnegie devoted some forty million dollars to his library project. Las Vegas`s library was designed by the firm Rapp and Rapp, and built in 1903. The building itself recalls Monticello with its dome resting on an octagonal drum, recessed portico entry, arched windows with sandstone details, and brick masonry work. Its neoclassicism is in keeping with the buildings facing the library park and in its immediate neighborhood.
