The Gresham Carnegie Library, is a historic building in Gresham, Oregon. The Tudor style building designed by Folger Johnson [1] was built in 1913 [2] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in January 2000. [3] It served as a public library in the Multnomah County Library system from 1913 until December 1989 when the Gresham Library opened. [4]
