The Charles Flint Public Library is the public library of Middleton, Massachusetts. It is located in a Richardsonian Romanesque building at 2 North Main Street in the center of the town. The building, the only Romanesque building in Middleton, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
Construction of the building was funded by a posthumous grant from writer, agriculturalist, and Middleton native Charles L. Flint, and designed by George Loring and Stanford Phipps, regional architects known for their public buildings. The building's stained glass windows were designed by Glasgow-born artist Donald MacDonald.[2]
