The Wanskuck Library, located at 233 Veazie Street in Providence, Rhode Island, is a single-story brick and stone structure completed in 1928 by the architectural firm Clarke & Howe. Designed as a replacement for an earlier library building that had served employees of the Wanskuck Mill Company, it exemplifies Colonial Revival architecture with a distinctive tetrastyle entrance portico. The building was the first of ten libraries constructed based on Howe's designs and represents an excellent local example of the Colonial Revival style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
