Wichita City Carnegie Library Building

The two-story, limestone Beaux Arts building stands in the southwestern part of Wichita's central business district, directly south of the old City Hall.

Two skylights, which have been covered due to water leakage, pierce the gable roofs midway.

The entry pavilion and the rear extension have low roofs hidden by parapets, they are likely covered with tar and gravel.

The building retains its original metal drain pipes on the outer edges of the façade and the rear extension.

A limestone or terracotta entablature, consisting of a multiply moulded bottom course surmounted by an egg and dart architrave, a bracketed frieze, and an incised vegetal and shell motif cornice engages the building on all elevations except the rear.
