About Carnegie Art Museum

The Carnegie Art Museum is an open craftsmanship historical center claimed by the City of Oxnard, California in the building initially involved by the Oxnard Public Library. The Neo-Classical building, found neighboring Oxnard's Plaza Park, opened in 1907 as the Oxnard Public Library and was changed over into a craftsmanship exhibition hall in 1986. In July 1971, it turned into the principal working in Ventura County and the main Carnegie library in California to be recorded on the National Register of Historic Places. In late 1904,

Oxnard's first chairman Richard B. Haydock composed a letter to Andrew Carnegie requesting a gift to manufacture a library in Oxnard. In February 1906, Carnegie offered to give $10,000 toward the development of a library if the City of Oxnard would outfit the site and consent to give in any event $1,000 every year to keep up it. By September 1906, development was underway. Mayor Haydock chose the Greek Neo-Classical engineering with Doric segments for the new library, which was planned by Los Angeles draftsman, Franklin Burnham. In March 1963, the Oxnard Public Library moved to another area, and the building was utilized somewhere in the range of 1963 and 1975 by the Oxnard Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce.
