Architecture and history

The Abbott Memorial Library is located in the center of South Pomfret village, at the northwest corner of Library and Stage Streets. It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of brick and stone, set on a raised fieldstone foundation. It is covered by a terra cotta hip roof, with decorations at the crest, as well as at the crests of its hip dormers and the gabled entrance portico. Windows are sash, with the upper sashes having patterned glazing. The entrance portico is supported by paired Tuscan columns, which support an entablature and a gable with a half-round window in it.[2]

The library was funded through a bequest made in 1903 by Ira Abbott, a prominent local attorney, which supported the acquisition of the land and the construction of the building. The library has had state accreditation since 1999, and is funded by a combination of public and private funding. It is overseen by a board of trustees.
