About this postcard

The Hackley Public Library in Muskegon, Michigan, appears in winter behind bare trees. The stone building has a corner tower, arched windows, and rough Romanesque Revival masonry. Muskegon was a lumber town, and the library was a gift from lumberman Charles Hackley; it opened in 1890 as a civic centerpiece.
