The Old Library Building at 200 E. 8th St. in Chattanooga, Tennessee is a Carnegie library building which was built in 1904. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]

It was designed by architect Reuben Harrison Hunt in Classical Revival style.

It was the first building specifically designed as a library in Chattanooga, although there has been a library in the city since 1867. It was built with a $50,000 Carnegie grant.[2]

It was part of the Chattanooga Public Library system.
