Moffat Library

The Moffat Library, officially Moffat Library of Washingtonville, serves a population of 25,000 people in the village of that name in Orange County, New York, as well as the surrounding towns of Blooming Grove, Hamptonburgh and New Windsor. It is located in the center of town, at the intersection of

NY 208 and NY 94. It boasts one Louis Comfort Tiffany-designed stained glass window and one Belcher mosaic stained glass window, although they were not part of the library's original design. Due to the windows and the building maintaining its original plan and most of its appearance, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2011 the library was seriously damaged by floodwaters from nearby Moodna Creek during Hurricane Irene. It was unable to reopen until 2017; the exterior and interior of the building were extensively renovated.
