Oliver Ames Free Library, 53 Main Street, North Easton, Bristol County, MA  General View of Barrel Vaulted Stack Room, From North.  

The library was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, one of America's greatest architects. Richardson's name has become synonymous with Romanesque design. Together with Landscape Architect, Frederick Law Olmstead, Richardson worked under the patronage of the Ames family to create a planned town containing some of the century's architectural landmarks.

Initial Construction began in 1893. Photographed by Richard Nickel.
