Mynderse Custom Library in Seneca Falls, NY

Located in the heart of the Seneca Falls Historic District, this 11,800 sq ft library was designed by Beardsley Architects + Engineers to reflect the neighborhood’s historic architecture while meeting the needs of a growing community. The public building design harmonizes with nearby residences and civic structures through careful massing, site planning, and historically compatible materials.

Inside, a two-story central computer resource area anchors the space, with adjacent wings for fiction, non-fiction, and children’s collections. A mezzanine-level reading room offers quiet study and access to special collections, while a dedicated history room preserves local archives. A multi-purpose meeting room with kitchen and restrooms is accessible for community events, even outside of regular library hours.

This project demonstrates our commitment to community-centered architecture, blending modern function with historic preservation.
