A 1906 gift from Andrew Carnegie, this former library has been carefully restored to the specifications of its designer - the noted architectural firm of Samuel Hannaford and Sons. An inspiring stage for any event, this stately Beaux-Arts building is dominated by large arched windows, majestic 22 foot ceilings, and concentric patterned wood floors. Two main rooms and a large entry hall, totaling 3500 square feet, are available separately or together allowing The Carnegie Center to accomodate small and large groups. Inspired by the words of the building's original sponsor, a group of Columbia Tusculum residents set out in 1993 to return the neighborhood's former library to community use. Their efforts, supported by The City of Cincinnati, neighborhood organizations, as well as numerous foundations and individuals, have resulted in the opening of The Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum.
