Originally {{convert|4142|sqft|m2}} on two floors, the library was designed by the architectural firm of [[Claude and Starck]] of [[Madison, Wisconsin]]. The building today is on the National Register of Historic Places. Most notably, the building features a [[Louis Sullivan]] exterior frieze, lead and stained glass windows and doors, and a completely open and unobstructed interior. The building, designed in the [[Prairie School]] architectural style popularized by such architects as [[Louis Sullivan]] and [[Frank Lloyd Wright]], is also noted for its orange clay-tiled hip roof that defies regional construction convention. In 1985, due to space issues, the original Carnegie building was expanded.<ref name="larl">{{cite web|title=Lake Agassiz Regional Library Branch Info |publisher=Lake Agassiz Regional Library Network |url=http://www.larl.org/branch/detroit_lakes_about.html |access-date=May 6, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070416040454/http://www.larl.org/branch/detroit_lakes_about.html |archive-date=April 16, 2007}}</ref>
