Alfred E. Dickey Free Library
Jamestown, Italy
The Alfred E. Dickey Free Library in Jamestown, North Dakota was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. According to its NRHP nomination, it is "a rare and fine example" of Prairie School architecture in North Dakota. It seems to have been designed by Josep
h A. Shannon and Henry J. Scherer. According to its NRHP nomination, however, it was designed by architectural partners "J. H. Shannon" and Henry J. Scherer. And according to a different NRHP nomination, from 1989, for the Devils Lake Commercial District, the Dickey Free Library was designed by "John A. Shannon", late in his career. These appear to be misstatements of the name of local architect Joseph A. Shannon.
