The Library and Reading Room Association was formed in Chariton in 1879, but it was short-lived. The county superintendent of schools started a teachers' library in the courthouse sometime afterward. By this time the community had a library of 800 volumes.[2] There was an effort by study clubs in town in 1898 to raise money and establish a free public library. The Chariton Federation of Women's Clubs took the lead and opened a library with the books from the courthouse in two rooms above Gibbons Drug Store on the town square. Citizens approved a local tax to support the library the following year. Librarian Margaret Brown and Library Board President Thomas Gay applied to the Carnegie Corporation of New York for a grant to build a library building, and on January 13, 1903 they were awarded $11,000.[3] The Chicago architectural firm of Patton & Miller was chosen to design the new building. It was dedicated on October 28, 1904. The Neoclassical style building is a single-story structure of dark brown rock-faced brick with Bedford stone trim. The symmetrical facade features a projecting portico with stone columns in the Doric order, brick pilasters, a stone cornice, and a triangular brick and stone pediment. The building is capped with a hip roof The interior plan of the building became known as the "Chariton Plan" because it was first used here before it was used for other libraries in Iowa.[2] In 1993 the Mason City, Iowa architectural firm of Bergland & Cram designed an addition that was added to the rear of the building. The library building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] In 2014 it was included as a contributing property in the Lucas County Courthouse Square Historic District.[4] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} {{Registered Historic Places}}{{NRHP in Lucas County, Iowa}}{{Iowa-NRHP-stub}}{{Iowa-struct-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=05000906}}|title=Chariton Free Public Library|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2016-08-09|author=Molly Myers Naumann}} with {{NRHP url|id=05000906|photos=y|title=photos}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://clip.grad.uiowa.edu/chariton-public-library|title=Carnegie Libraries of Iowa Project-Chariton Public Library|accessdate=2016-08-09|publisher=University of Iowa|author=}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=Molly Myers Naumann|url=https://www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/pdfs/14000324.pdf|title=Lucas County Courthouse Square Historic District|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2016-08-09}} 10 : Library buildings completed in 1904|Chariton, Iowa|Neoclassical architecture in Iowa|Buildings and structures in Lucas County, Iowa|National Register of Historic Places in Lucas County, Iowa|Libraries on the National Register of Historic Places in Iowa|Public libraries in Iowa|Carnegie libraries in Iowa|Historic district contributing properties in Iowa|Individually listed contributing properties to historic districts on the National Register in Iowa |
