The Lorain Branch of the Cleveland Public Library was one of several Cleveland neighborhood libraries funded by a grant from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It was built in 1912. In 2008, the building continues to be used as a library.
The black and white photo, dated 1912, was found online at the Cleveland Public Library archives. The building is not yet completed. Trolley tracks can be seen on brick-paved Lorain Road.
In the June 2008 photo, small trees hide some of the front of the building. Lorain Road (OH-10) is no longer brick, and the library now lies just off an I-90 exit ramp.
Year photo was taken: 1912
