Multnomah County Central Library - early 20th-century public library building

The Multnomah County Central Library building at 801 SW 10th Ave was designed by architect A. E. Doyle and completed in 1913 as Portland's main public library. The building has served continuously as the system's central branch and retains historic interior elements and architectural detailing from its original construction. It is a documented example of early-20th-century civic infrastructure in downtown Portland.
