The Nichols Memorial Library is a historic library building on Main Street in Kingston, New Hampshire, United States. The building is a single-story irregular stone structure with a red slate roof. It was designed by Dwight and Chandler of Boston and completed in 1898. It was built as a gift to the town by Kingston native J. Howard Nichols, a Boston industrialist and philanthropist. The building is distinctive statewide as the only local library building exhibiting Shingle style and Richardsonian Romanesque features. The building served as a library until 2012, when the library relocated to new quarters at 2 Library Lane. The building now serves as a research library, specializing in genealogical research, and is an extension of the Kingston Community Library, housing the town's archives and the Kingston Historical Museum's collections.
