Harriet Lee Hammond Library
This redwood paneled craftsman style building was constructed in 1916. The architect was no less than the nephew of Henry Wordsworth Longfellow. Members of the community donated time and money to build the library. Most notable of the donators was Harriet Lee Hammond, the sister of Teddy Roosevelt's first wife. The library is also home to the Upper Lake Women's Protective Club, a mutual aid organization, started in 1913 with a long and significant history of service to the community. Members still conduct their meetings at the library. Millstones from the pioneer Elliot Grist Mill are near the entrance of the library.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Second Street and Main Street.
