Riverview Branch Library is a Beaux-Arts Carnegie library completed in 1916 for the West Side neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving a largely immigrant community. Designed by Saint Paul city architect Charles A. Hausler, it was one of only three Carnegie libraries built in Saint Paul and among the final American libraries funded by the Carnegie Foundation. The building's generous natural lighting and refined architectural character earned recognition from critic Larry Millett as among the West Side's finest structures. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, it remains an important neighborhood landmark distinguished for its local significance in both architecture and education.
