Pretty sure this is a Carnegie library, built with funds bequeathed by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.
I've seen at least three of these in widely separated geographical location in the US.

That doesn’t mean it lacks the hallmarks of the former library–indeed, the entire outside still looks as it originally did as a library and the inside of the home features plenty of reminders of the building’s former role in the community.
