The Dalles Carnegie Library is a Beaux-Arts brick building in The Dalles, Oregon, completed in 1910 with a $10,000 construction grant from Andrew Carnegie. Measuring approximately 50 by 36 feet, the structure features a hip roof, tall brick chimneys with flared tops, and a concrete foundation with original window sills. The building served as the town's public library until 1966, when it was converted into an art center; it has been operated by the Dalles Art Association since 1997. Largely unaltered since its dedication, the building retains extensive original trim, a south-wall fireplace on its upper floor, and substantial windows, though minor modifications including an office and kitchenette were added to the southwest corner. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
