The Peabody Institute is the public library of Danvers, Massachusetts, established in 1854. The current building at 15 Sylvan Street was constructed for the Peabody Institute in 1891 by Little & Browne. The historic structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Philanthropist and native son George Peabody donated $50,000 for the construction of a library for Danvers, after previously endowing the Peabody Institute in South Danvers (now Peabody). The first building was designed by Gridley J. F. Bryant and built in 1868–69; this Gothic Revival structure was destroyed by fire in 1890. The library's trustees elected to rebuild on the same site, retaining Little & Browne (whose chief draftsman was a Danvers resident) to design the replacement. The present Classical Revival structure was completed in 1892. The building was transferred from the trustees to the town in 1978. More information...
