The library received a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York on December 13, 1906.{{cite web|url=http://clip.grad.uiowa.edu/humboldt-public-library|title=Carnegie Libraries of Iowa Project-Humboldt Public Library|accessdate=January 28, 2016|publisher=University of Iowa|author=}} The Des Moines architectural firm of Hallett & Rawson designed the building. It was built using limestone from a nearby area now known as Taft Park. Construction began in 1908 and it was dedicated on February 9, 1909. The rough texture of the rock-faced stone and the portico columns in the Tuscan order give the building a rustic appearance.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=83000368}}|title=Humboldt Free Public Library|accessdate=January 28, 2016|publisher=National Park Service|author=}} with {{NRHP url|id=83000368|photos=y|title=photos}} It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
