The Pawnee City Carnegie Library is a historic building in Pawnee City, Nebraska, and a Carnegie library. Its erection was initially rejected by the voters of Pawnee City in 1905, despite the promise of a $7,000 donation from Andrew Carnegie.[2] It was built in 1908, and designed in the Classical Revival architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 10, 2010.[1]
It was designed by the Eisentraut-Colby-Pottenger Company of Sioux City, Iowa. It is nearly square, being 37 by 40 feet (11 m × 12 m) in plan, and has brick exterior walls with a yellow brick veneer laid in running bond on three sides.[3]
