If you are interested in historic buildings you won't want to miss this old Carnegie Library that was built in 1903! Granite stairs lead to the main level. Most of the original woodwork is still in place with beautiful crown molding, large pillars, bookcases and a circular desk. There are also two restrooms and offices on the main level in addition to the main space that was used for books. There are two working fireplaces on the main level and another fireplace in the lower level which is a walk out basement. The lower level offers several large rooms and a restroom. The limestone exterior offers wood windows with exterior aluminum storm windows and painted metal on the facade. The building is being sold as is but has lots of potential. — MIBOR #: 21574429
