Listed on National Register of Historic Places
The Howland Cultural Center is housed in the 1872 Richard Morris Hunt building. His brother-in-law, Civil War General and shipping magnate Joseph Howland, commissioned the building as a circulating library. In 1973, the Hunt building received recognition as a historic landmark, becoming the first building in Beacon to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
