The Ossian Wilbur Goss Reading Room is a historic library building at 188 Elm Street in the Lakeport village of Laconia, New Hampshire. The architecturally eclectic single-story brick building was designed by Boston architect Willard P. Adden and built in 1905-06 after the collection of the former Lakeport library was moved to the recently built Gale Memorial Library in the center of Laconia. Its construction was funded by a bequest from Ossian Wilbur Goss, a local doctor who had died without natural heirs. The building officially became a branch of the Laconia library system in 1909, and continues to administered in part by trustees of Goss's legacy.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
