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.[1]
According to its NRHP nomination, it is "a rare and fine example" of Prairie School architecture in North Dakota.[2]: 4
It seems to have been designed by Joseph A. Shannon and . According to its NRHP nomination, however, it was designed by architectural partners "J. H. Shannon" and Henry J. Scherer.[2] 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.[3] These appear to be misstatements of the name of local architect Joseph A. Shannon.
