The Conant Public Library is the public library of Winchester, New Hampshire. It is located on Main Street, in a fine Victorian Romanesque Revival building erected in 1891, funded by a bequest from Winchester resident Ezra Conant. The building's design, by Springfield, Massachusetts architect, J. M. Currier, is based on his design of the 1886 library building in Brattleboro, Vermont.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
