Atlanta Library & Museum - Atlanta, Illinois
Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places the Atlanta Public Library was built in 1908 with a style of architecture based on the Neo-Classic design of the 1840s with high ceilings and a domed rotunda.

There’s a classic clock tower next to the Public Library and Museum too. The clock mechanism is a 1909 vintage Seth Thomas. Originally this was the Atlanta High School clock. Now it has been moved and preserved for future generations to enjoy next to the museum. The clock must be hand cranked every 8 days.
