Description:
Barnes Library. Kimball Union Academy, Meriden Village, about 1924, served as the library until 1982. This handsome stone structure epitomizes the best of its style. Especially noteworthy is the classic temple front, supported by Doric columns and the entablature with its triglyph ornamentation. A dome-shaped cupola adorns the roof. The stone in this building was taken from stonewalls around nearby fields.
