Description:
"The Avondale Branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati was the eighth of the system's first nine branch libraries built with the gift of $280,000 from steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie. The Cincinnati firm of Garber and Woodward designed this Spanish Colonial style structure with its tile roof, decorative iron work, and domed ceiling. When the Avondale Library opened on March 1, 1913, it was at a busy center of an affluent community. The structure featured a lecture room which the community could use 'for any legitimate purpose' except religious and political meetings and a Rookwood drinking fountain given by the Avondale Improvement Association." description "The Avondale Branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati was the eighth of the system's first nine branch libraries built with the gift of $280,000 from steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie.
