Caption: Carnegie Library Building
405 North Main Street
Additional Description: Built of brick with portico, rusticated quoins, dentil cornice, water table and 1/1 windows, the Carnegie Library was a result of the Library Association formed by the Women's Christian Temperance Union in 1900. Andrew Carnegie donated money for the library, and Col. Joseph Newton Brown provided the property. G.B. Casey was the architect, and the building was completed in 1907. After a move to what is not the Anderson County Museum at the site of old Girls High School on Greenville St., the new copper-domed Anderson County Library now stands on McDuffie at Sharpe Street.
