Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Library

The Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Library displays a yellow brick facade with a wide, arched entrance that frames the sidewalk. Andrew Carnegie provided the funds for this building in nineteen twenty-five, following his mission to bring public reading rooms into residential neighborhoods. When local residents gathered to celebrate the library's reopening after a major renovation in two thousand twelve, they discovered a hidden time capsule buried in the cornerstone, filled with newspapers and coins from its original construction nearly ninety years earlier.
