Little Falls Public Library
About
Little Falls Public Library is the local connection to a world of information, and its home is one of the best-looking buildings in town. The library occupies a Victorian mansion in the Second Empire style, built by Frank Bramer between 1876 and 1878. A library in a historic home is a local landmark in its own right.
The mansion is brick and cut stone, three stories tall, with a mansard roof, dormers and iron roof trim and fencing around the property. A major renovation in the early 1980s added a two-story wing for the adult book section and a new entrance, along with a community room and an elevator.
