Located at 210 Washington Street in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the Wellesley Hills Branch Library is a Colonial Revival stone building completed in 1928 and the town's first purpose-built branch library. Designed by Hampton F. Shirer from sketches by the late Ralph H. Hannaford, the structure features an L-shaped plan with a single story above a raised basement, faced entirely in local fieldstone. The main block displays a five-bay side-gable configuration with a projecting entry pavilion. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
