Pembroke's Public Library was designed by architect Francis Conroy Sullivan, a contemporary and friend of Frank Lloyd Wright. You can easily see the influence of Wright in the photograph above.
Francis C. Sullivan was born in Kingston, Ontario in 1882 and lived there until he was 18 years old. He left Kingston for Ottawa, Ontario and worked as a draftsman and later (about 1908) as a partner in the offices of Moses Edey. By 1911 he had met Frank Lloyd Wright and worked for him for several months. In the fall of 1911 Sullivan returned to Ottawa and became the architect for the Pembroke, Ontario Public Library system after submitting three designs for a new public library and having one accepted, though modified to meet budget constraints before construction. It is believed that one of the two rejected designs was done in collaboration with Wright.
