Built in 1906 by Charles Holden, its design was influential in the development of Edwardian Free Style architecture.[1] Holden would later go on to build the Edward VII Memorial Wing of the Bristol Royal Infirmary,[2] giving Bristol two of its most highly regarded Edwardian buildings.[3] The Library has been designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building.[4]
