The ARCHITECT ​Richard Morris Hunt designed this architectural masterpiece a century and a half ago as the Howland Circulating Library in 1872. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and re-opened as the Howland Cultural Center in 1979.

The PHILANTHROPIST General Joseph & Eliza Howland commissioned their brother-in-law Richard Morris Hunt to design the Howland Circulating Library along with designing the grand music room addition at their Howland Estate just south of the library building.
