Английская Википедия:Cook Memorial Library (Libertyville, Illinois)
The Cook Memorial Library, also known as the Ansel B. Cook House, is a historic house museum in Libertyville, Illinois, United States. It was built as a Victorian house for contractor and politician Ansel B. Cook in 1878. In his will Cook donated the home to be used as a public library, although it remained for many years the residence of Cook's longer-lived widow. After Emily Barrows Cook's death, the building received a major Neoclassical renovation that converted it into a library, opening to the public in 1921.[1]
By the 1960s the library had outgrown the space available, and voters approved a referendum to construct a new library. The new facility of what is now the Cook Memorial Public Library District opened directly behind the Cook House in 1968.[2]
The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[3] Today the Libertyville–Mundelein Historical Society operates the house as a Victorian house museum.[1]
