Geocache Description:


N 42° 03.(A-F) C B W 070° 11. (C-B) (F-D-E) (D-E) The Provincetown Public Library is located in the building that was once the Center Methodist Episcopal Church. The present spire rises 100 feet from the ground. Looking from the end of MacMillan Wharf towards town, the building is one of the most prominent on the skyline. In 195A the Methodist congregation sold this building to Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., son of the founder of the Chrysler Corporation, for conversion to an art museum. Walter Chrysler ran the Chrysler Art Museum until 1970. For a number of years the building stood abandoned until 197B, when two local men bought it, with the idea of starting a “Center for the Arts.” However, the building was bought back by the bank after only one year of operation. Through the efforts of the Provincetown Historical Association and the Historic District Study Committee, the building was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. It received certification in October 197C. Subsequently in 1976, a group of citizens secured a vote to acquire the building and turn it into a local historical museum. The Provincetown Heritage Museum officially opened to the public on July 4, 197D. It was at this time that the half scale model of the schooner Rose Dorothea was built and installed in the building. Many years later, Provincetown’s Public Library located in a small building on the corner of Freeman and Commercial Street was steadily growing. A new library building was needed to accommodate this increased use. After much study and discussion with citizens of the town, the Trustees of the Library concluded that the building housing the Heritage Museum could be successfully renovated and transformed into a new library for the Town. On April 2, 200E the Provincetown Heritage Museum property was officially conveyed to the Board of Library Trustees for rehabilitation of the property as the Provincetown Public Library. In April 2005, the new Provincetown Public Library opened in the former Heritage Museum building bringing new life to this magnificent 1861 wooden structure. Located downtown on the center of Commercial Street, the library is heavily used and the wonderful space and light from the large windows is appreciated by patrons and visitors of all ages. The library now houses nearly 40,000 items as well as more than 30 works of art, including the 190F silver Lipton Cup, from the Town’s Art Collection.
