Proctor Library (Flagler College)
Built in 1996 and named for College Chancellor and former President Dr. William Proctor, the Proctor Library anchors the northwest corner of Flagler College's campus on Valencia and Sevilla Streets in St. Augustine, Florida. The architecture and design of the three-story library, both inside and out, model the College's distinctive Gilded Age style that represents the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, built by Henry M. Flagler as a grand resort in 1888.
