This postcard shows the main branch of the Atlanta Public Library in the early 1950s. The portion of the library with columns (at the left) was opened in 1902 and known as the Carnegie Library, named for Andrew Carnegie who was responsible for donating the money used to build and open the facility. It retained that name until 1950, when the more modern looking wing (on the right) was opened, at which point the institution became known as the Atlanta Public Library.HOME | DOWNTOWN | HOUSES AND APARTMENTS | COMMERCIAL BLDGS. | MISCELLANEOUS LOCATIONS | LINKS | NEXT PHOTO
