library

Is that a Carnegie Library!

What can I say but...I love Carnegie libraries.

 

 

This one was located in Two Harbors, Minnesota.

 It was built in 1909 with a $15,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie.

Built in the Classical Revival style with brick and sandstone,

 it was one of over 3,000 libraries in 47 states funded by Carnegie.

 

 

If there had been a roaring fire in this fireplace

 I would never have left the building.

 

 

Thank you Andrew Carnegie and the towns and cities

 that have kept and maintained these libraries.
