Braddock Carnegie Library

Built in 1888-1889 and dedicated March 30, 1889, the Braddock Carnegie Library was the first library building in the United States funded by American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who intended it to be a "center of light and learning." The library played a seminal role in the evolution of Carnegie's vision of himself as a public benefactor of the working class and has been designated a National Historic Landmark for its national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.
