This is the Weston Library which is in the Weston neighbourhood of the city. Weston was a small farm town outside the city but many years ago the city grew and engulfed it. The library was built in 1914 with a Carnegie Foundation grant and still retains the style of those times.
I would love to visit that library!
ReplyDeleteNice looking library!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy weekend!
That's a beautiful building. The Carnegie Foundation built lots of libraries around that time.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Eastern cities in particular grew and grew and absorbed the neighboring towns and farm country. A handsome photo. Thank you Pat. Aloha
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Ours has two floors, all with glass, I just cannot walk up there... Well, up, yes, but down is a problem. This one I would visit!
ReplyDeleteIt has a bit of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie style in its roof . The architect at the time had studied that well. Also the copper on the front entrance is something he used.
ReplyDeleteFantastic library, gets light from the glass on the ceiling!
ReplyDeleteI like the quiet of libraries.
Thank you!
