The Gresham Carnegie Library, is a historic building in Gresham, Oregon. The Tudor style building designed by Folger Johnson[1] was built in 1913[2] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in January 2000.[3] It served as a public library in the Multnomah County Library system from 1913 until December 1989 when the Gresham Library opened.[4]
At that time the Gresham Historical Society purchased the building and opened the Gresham History Museum.[5] The building underwent six-months of renovations in 2012.[4]
