Above, a historic view of the primary west facade of the original Carnegie Library. Decorative banding and crests, which appear in darker tone than the light wall color, are composed of inset and incised painted or glazed tiles. Wood windows and window trim are painted a similar tone as the walls. Note the simple landscape treatment of the front yard and walks. Source: City of Snohomish.
