The Rochambeau Library—Providence Community Library is an historic public library building at 708 Hope Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It is a single-story brick structure with limestone trim, designed by Wallis E. Howe and built in 1930. It has a symmetrical main facade, with the entrance in the center, sheltered by a porch supported by fluted Corinthian columns. The flanking bays are pavilions with gable fronts.[2] A modern two-level addition with a glass front has been made to the north side of the building.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
