Notes
  • Significance: The Wadsworth Library was built in 1891-92 during a period of expansion for the Northwestern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Originally the recreational facilities for resident veterans were housed in the multi-purpose Main Building, including a room designated as a library. Expansion of the membership and a shift away from the centralized model in the 1880s and 1890s resulted in the construction of a number of specialized new buildings, including the library. The library is attributed to prominent Milwaukee architect Henry C. Koch. Koch's firm was the architect for many buildings during this period of expansion including the hospital (1879), Ward Memorial Hall (1881), and chapel (1889). The library is still used for its original purpose and is an important part of the historic core of the Northwestern Branch campus.
