The Old Library at West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA, is situated on the prominent corner of South Church Street and West Rosedale Avenue, marking the southwest corner of the Quad.
Following the old tradition of the Quad, this 1902 building was made from serpentine rubble stone with a slate roof. The Department of Anthropology and Sociology, as well as the West Chester University Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, are housed in this facility.
It is a contributing building to the West Chester State College Quadrangle Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]
