1908 Public Library, Nahant, MA

[LIB1119]

The Nahant Public Library was founded in 1819, the third oldest in Massachusetts after Franklin and Harvard. Our library became a free public library in 1872. The present library building was designed by the Boston firm of Ball and Dabney, and opened June 1, 1895, and was the first electrified building in Nahant. [Thanks to the Nahant PL, www.nahant.org]
