Multnomah County Central Library

The Multnomah County Central Library was designed by architect A.E. Doyle in a Beaux-Arts style and was completed in 1913. It serves as the main branch of the county library system and houses significant local history collections, reading rooms, and public programs. The building underwent a major renovation and seismic retrofit in the late 20th century and continues to be a prominent architectural and cultural landmark.
