The 125th Street Library, built in 1901 in Manhattan, is a Carnegie library designed by the prominent American architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. As part of the nationwide library expansion funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, this public library branch exemplifies the Beaux-Arts classicism favored by the era's leading architectural practices. The building serves as both a functional community institution and an artifact of early twentieth-century civic architecture in New York City.
