Last week’s “The top of an old building,” shows the top of the Carnegie library in Union.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, shared this: “It is the oldest of 14 South Carolina Carnegie Libraries that were built, in part, using funds awarded to the recipients by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a philanthropic fund established by Andrew Carnegie to support education programs across the United States, and later the world. … In 1905, citizens of Union County purchased the lot for the building and raised an additional $3,500. In 2009, Union’s library was named the Best Small Library in America by the Library Journal.”
Others who correctly identified the library were Jay Altman and Elizabeth Jones, both of Columbia; Bill Segers of Hartsville, Pat Keadle of Wagener; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Rene McDaniel of Rock Hill, Travis Kimbrell of Fort mill, and Stanley Smith.
