The Pawnee City Carnegie Library is a historic building in Pawnee City, Nebraska, and a Carnegie library. Its erection was initially rejected by the voters of Pawnee City in 1905, despite the promise of a $7,000 donation from Andrew Carnegie.[1] It was built in 1908, and designed in the Classical Revival architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 10, 2010.
It was designed by the Eisentraut-Colby-Pottenger Company of Sioux City, Iowa. It is nearly square, being NaNfeet in plan, and has brick exterior walls with a yellow brick veneer laid in running bond on three sides.[2]
