The Hamburg Public Library (North 3rd Street) was entered onto the National Register of Historic Places around 1988. Text, below, was adapted from a copy of the original nomination document.
The Hamburg Public Library is representative of the high style buildings that appeared during the Victorian Period.
The Hamburg Public Library borrowed freely from a variety of turn of the century styles and incorporated a few inventions of its own. The roof lines are more reminiscent of the Gothic Revival style, the arched windows and doorways are Romanesque Revival, rusticated lintel and arch stones borrow from Richardsonian Romanesque Revival, yet the eave crown moldings are of Classical Greek Revival profile and the dormer window is decorated with filigree reminiscent of the Stick Style. The interior details and moldings echo a modified expression of Roman architecture.
