Abstract

The building on the cover of this issue is the Carnegie Library of Charlotte. which served as the Queen City's public library from 1903 until it was razed to make room for the present Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, dedicated November 19, 1956. The Carnegie Library was made possible by gifts totalling $25,000 from Andrew Carnegie con- tingent upon an agreement by the city to support the library with an annual appropriation of $2,500. Architects for the building were Wheeler and McMichael and contractors were the Lazenby Brothers. The engraving for this photo was made from a print in the picture files of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
