A Glimpse into The Old Library’s Past
Origins of a Historic Landmark
Built in 1905, The Old Library was the brainchild of architect Thomas Shelmerdine and was generously funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. For over a century, it stood as a beacon of knowledge for the community.
The Period of Abandonment
After its closure in 2006, the library was left to the ravages of time. Dust settled, shadows grew longer, and the once lively halls became silent, save for the creaks and whispers that old buildings often emit.
Restoration and Rediscovery
In 2019, efforts to restore the library unveiled hidden rooms and forgotten passageways. These discoveries not only added to the building’s architectural allure but also sparked curiosity about what, or who, might still reside within its walls.
