Carnegie Library
Building
This native limestone
library was built in 1909-11 with funds from New York industrialist
and philanthropist Andrew
Carnegie. Local banker Jo Wilmeth donated the land and the Rev.
J. D. Leslie, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, served as the
supervising architect. The building's auditorium and club rooms were
used for a variety of civic and cultural events, school social activities
and temporary worship services of several local churches.
