The Former Eldora Public Library is a historic building located in Eldora, Iowa, United States. On December 30, 1901, the Carnegie Foundation agreed to grant the community $10,000 to build a new library building.^[2] The Chicago architectural firm of Patton & Miller designed it in the Renaissance Revival style, and it was dedicated on May 11, 1903. The single-story, brick structure is somewhat rare in that its plan is an asymmetrical massing of intersecting gables.^[3] The entrance pavilion is located at the intersection of the two masses. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.^[1] In 2010 it was included as a contributing property in the Eldora Downtown Historic District in 2010.^[4] The library has subsequently moved to a new facility, and this building has been converted for commercial use.
