The Cadillac Carnegie Public Library, now the Wexford County Historical Society Museum, was constructed as a Carnegie Library located at 127 Beech Street in Cadillac, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1980[1] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[2]
History
In 1903, the Andrew Carnegie Foundation agreed to donate $15,000 toward the cost of a new library in Cadillac, subject to the community raising matching funds.[3] The Cadillac Literary Society matched the funds,[1] and in 1904 Scheurmann & Merriam Architects of Saginaw, Michigan were selected to design the building, and Freuchtel Construction Company was selected to be the building contractor.[3] The library was completed in 1906 at a cost of $30,000.[1] The building served as a public library until 1969.
After that time, it was used by the Cadillac Police Department until 1977, after which it was considered for demolition.[3] The city accepted the Wexford County Historical Society's proposal to use the building as a museum, and it became the Wexford County Historical Society Museum.[1]
Description
The Cadillac Public Library is a single story polygonal Classical Revival brick building sitting on a raised stone foundation.[1] It has a shallow-pitched hip roof with a low-pitched dome. The entryway in through a simple door flanked by Ionic columns and surmounted with a semi-circular window.[1]
