TheEverett Carnegie Library is aCarnegie library building located inEverett, Washington, USA listed on theNational Register of Historic Places and part of theSnohomish County Government campus.[2] The building occupies the southeast corner of the intersection of Oakes Avenue and Wall Street in the city's central business district.
It was constructed in 1904 with a gift ofUS$25,000 from philanthropistAndrew Carnegie for the purpose of constructing a public library.[3] The architectural firm of Heide and deNeuf designed the building using thePomona, California Public Library andBoston Public Library as its models. The library opened on July 1, 1905, with a newly purchased stock of 4,000 volumes on its shelves.[4] It operated until 1935, when it was superseded by the new Everett Public Library at 2702 Hoyt Avenue which opened in October 1934.[5] The building became the Cassidy Funeral Home[6] from 1935 to 1980. Snohomish County took ownership in 1980, installing the offices of theCounty Executive. Subsequently, the building was occupied by the Snohomish County Museum of History, a three-year arrangement that ended in 2011 when lease negotiations with the county failed.[7] Although it is part of the Snohomish County Government Complex, the building stood vacant for several years.[8]
In 2018, the Carnegie Building was repurposed for use as asocial services facility to treat homelessness and drug use.[9]
