The Queens Borough Public Library, Poppenhusen Branch is located at 121-23 14th Avenue.[1] It was built in 1904 on a corner site donated by the citizens of College Point. This Classical Revival structure is the only Carnegie branch designed by the noted architectural firm, Heins & LaFarge.[1] The Poppenhusen Branch is a New York City individual landmark and continues to operate as a branch of the Queens Borough Public Library. Its collection includes publications in Chinese, English, Hindi, Korean and Spanish.[2] Like all other Queens Carnegie branches, Poppenhusen was renovated in the 1930s with Works Progress Administration (WPA) funds.[2]
