Carnegie provided $20,000 toward the construction of the North Tonawanda Library. It is a low one-story brick structure with a basement in the Classical Revival style. The interior features wood paneling, elaborate plaster moldings and trim, mosaic tile floors, and a large stained glass skylight.
The building functioned as a library until 1976 when it became home to the Carnegie Art Center of the Tonawandas' Council on the Arts.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
