Built 1906
The Petaluma Free Public Library was established in 1878. The current Classical
Revival building, designed by Brainerd Jones, was built in 1906
for $20,000. $12,500 was granted by Andrew Carnegie
and the balance was donated by the Petaluma community.
The building remained a library until 1976 when it was renovated and
converted into a museum of Petaluma history.
