Smalltown Southern Ontario .... Uxbridge Public Library .... 9 Toronto Street South .... Uxbridge, Ontario
Built 1887 Architect - John T Stokes .... in High Victorian Gothic style .... The three-storey building is built on a steep slope with the basement opening at ground level on the east to Pond Street, and the second level opening to Toronto Street on the west. The building is of late Victorian style with Gothic proportions and detailing. Brickwork includes bands of red which contrast with the overall buff brickwork typical of the area and period of construction. The clock tower of the library is one of the most interesting architectural features of the Town of Uxbridge. The library clock was installed on August 16, 1887, by the Seth Thomas Clock Co. of Thomaston, Connecticut, and it still works perfectly 128 years later. The Public Library continues to be the most recognizable landmark in Uxbridge to this day .... (note the Uxbridge Cenotaph / War Memorial in front of library)
