Carnegie-Schadde Memorial Public Library
United States historic place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baraboo Public Library, also known as the Carnegie-Schadde Memorial Public Library, is the public library serving Baraboo, Wisconsin. Located at 230 4th Avenue, it was built in 1903[2] as one of the state's first small-scale Carnegie libraries. Claude and Starck of Madison designed the Neoclassical building; the firm designed 39 libraries in the early twentieth century, many of which were funded by Carnegie, and the Baraboo library was one of their first works. The library's design features a projecting entrance portico flanked by Ionic columns and topped with a pediment and a dentillated entablature along the bottom of the tiled hip roof.[3]
