History

Healdsburg applied for a grant from the Carnegie Foundation in 1908 and was awarded a $10,000 grant in 1909. It was one of five Carnegie Library buildings constructed in Sonoma County. Noted Bay Area Architect Brainerd Jones designed the building in Classical Revival style, incorporating the columns, stairs, and pediment typical of Classical and Neoclassical structures. Contractor Frank Sullivan of Santa Rosa was the contractor, and it was built during 1910–11. [2] By the mid-1980s the library outgrew the structure and moved to a new facility. After extensive interior renovations the Healdsburg Museum opened in the building in 1990.

Conner was responsible for construction. It is a single-story structure built over a raised basement and a proment pedimented main entrance. The new library was dedicated on March 16, 1905, and served the community in that form until 1957. In that year the auditorium in the basement was remodeled into a children's reading room. A three-story addition, which doubled the size of the building, was completed in 1961. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The Marion Public Library has subsequently moved to a new facility, and the Carnegie building is now part of the First United Methodist Church complex.
