The Hamilton Grange Branch of the New York Public Library is a Renaissance Revival library in Hamilton Heights, Manhattan, designed by the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White and constructed in 1905–1906. One of sixty-five Carnegie libraries built for the New York Public Library with philanthropist Andrew Carnegie's funding—eleven of which were designed by McKim, Mead & White—the building stands three stories tall across five bays and is clad in deeply rusticated gray limestone in the Italian Renaissance style. Its façade features round arched openings on the ground floor, along with bronze lamps and grilles. Designated a New York City Landmark in 1970 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, it remains a significant example of early-twentieth-century library architecture.
