The Carnegie Library was Atlanta's first public library. It was built by New York architects Ackerman & Ross and opened in 1902. The building was located on 126 Carnegie Way in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, and was renovated in 1950 and 1966. It was demolished in 1977 to make the new Central Library, but architectural elements from the main façade were preserved. - Local Identifier:
