Peavey Memorial Library

Peavey Memorial Library is an historic public library in downtown Eastport, Maine, United States. Built in 1893 in the Romanesque Revival style, it was named for Albert Peavey, an Eastport resident whose son, Frank Peavey, left Eastport and eventually owned a major grain company in Minnesota in the late 1800s. Frank Peavey left money to Eastport for the establishment of the Peavey Memorial Library in honor of his father, who had died at age 35, when Frank was only 9 years old.[1][2]
