Renovation of a library in Claremont, New Hampshire. Completed plans call for the renovation of a 5,800-square-foot, one-story above grade library.

Fiske Free Library Roof Replacement (Approximately 5,800 SF) Constructed in 1903 under an Andrew Carnegie grant, the Fiske Free Library in Claremont, New Hampshire, is a distinguished example of Classical Revival architecture designed by H.M. Francis & Sons of Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Built of masonry with refined classical detailing, the structure features a hipped roof characteristic of early Carnegie libraries, originally designed to complement the building's symmetrical form and durable masonry construction. As a contributing resource within Claremont's Downtown Historic District, any roof repair or replacement must preserve the library's historic appearance and utilize materials and methods compatible with its early twentieth-century architectural character. The Fiske Free Library is an important historic building serving the community. The existing roof, composed of slate and asphalt shingle, has reached the end of its service life. Deterioration of the roofing materials has increased maintenance needs and the risk of water infiltration, threatening the building's structure and interior.
