Another fine example of Richardson’s signature style, Richardsonian Romanesque, the building’s facade is made of Milford granite, random ashlar, and dark reddish brown brownstone trim. The fireplace in the reading room was designed by architect Stanford White.

I grew up in Easton and this library holds many happy memories of my childhood. It's nice to see it recognized on a national scale.
