OUR CARNEGIE BUILDING — A NATIONAL LANDMARK
The present building was erected with funds provided by Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Carnegie’s grant was given largely due to his personal friendship with Dr. Peck, and on the condition that the City of Gloversville continue to support the library financially. The cornerstone was laid on August 27, 1904. Albert Randolph Ross, an architect with the New York firm of McKim, Mead and White, designed this masterpiece of Beaux Arts style, which, since 1976, has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
