Winchester Public Library

WINCHESTER, MA.

An addition to the building, designed by Kilham, Hopkins, Greeley, and Brodie, was completed in 1966. It provided for a larger reading and reference room, an enlarged children’s room, a workroom, and increased storage capacity.

The 1996 addition was designed by Thompson, French, and Matsumoto and resulted in a 20% increase in usable space for a total of 28,000 square feet. Both public and private funds were used to update the building, repair and restore the slate roof, Tiffany windows, and Ripley and Caser murals, and improve accessibility.
