The Carnegie Library of Covington, also known as Covington Public Library, is a historic Carnegie library located at the corner of Fifth and Crockett Streets (622 S. Fifth St.), Covington, Indiana. It was built in 1913–1914 by Charles A. Brown and is a one-story, rectangular brick building in the Neoclassical style. It has a low-pitched hipped roof, and the front facade features a one-story projecting pedimented portico.[2]: 2 The building was renovated, and a new addition was added in 1995.[3]
The Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded $10,000 to build the library in 1913. It is among 164 public libraries (and two academic libraries) that the Carnegie Corporation endowed in Indiana. It opened in 1914.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
The library remains in operation today as a branch of the Covington-Veedersburg Public Library.[4]
