[edit] The Library Building
The 10,200 sq. ft. library building was designed by the firm of Bull, Stockwell, and Allen. The architectural style is that of the 19th century railroad yard in Belvedere. The site is part of the landfill of the 1890s done to create the railroad yard. The library's windows look out on protected marsh lands and Old St. Hilary's Open Space preserve.
