1903 – Carnegie Public Library, Windsor, Ontario

Architect: John Scott & Co.

0016

The Carnegie grant was awarded in 1901, with the grand opening of the library in October 1903. The Carnegie library rapidly became too small to accommodate all users. Eventually a new Main Library on Ouellette in Windsor was opened in 1973, and the Carnegie branch closed its doors. The building was demolished in 1974and is now the site of an apartment building, which still bears the name “Carnegie”.
