Title: Carnegie Library Building Date: 1925 Retrieval Number: CORA-RPL-B-349 Extent: 1 B&W print; 20.5 cm x 25 cm Scope and Content Note: Carnegie Library Building on the northwest corner of Lorne Street and 12 th Avenue Access Restrictions: None Photographer: Unknown Parent fonds/collection: RPL Photograph Collection Historical Note: The library started on the second floor of City Hall in 1909, but it soon proved so popular that a special building was constructed to house the library. The first library was a Carnegie building. Built with the aid of a $50,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, the famous American philanthropist, the building stood where the current Central Library branch of the Regina Public Library now stands. The building opened on May 11, 1912 . On June 30, 1912 , the Regina cyclone struck the city, severely damaging the brand-new library. The Carnegie foundation again came through, donating an additional $9,500 to pay for reconstruction efforts. |
