# Talk:Ballard Carnegie Library

If anyone else can find some, please let me know or add them in? Aside from subscription news sites (no access) I think I've run dry now. • Lawrence Cohen 18:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I see that you cite Larry Kreisman of Historic Seattle; have you tried contacting him? Or have you tried contacting the current Ballard branch of the Seattle Public Library? - Jmabel | Talk 02:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, I suspect that a floor plan might be available somewhere (either from the city archives or from the library system), and that it would be worth someone (probably me) snapping a photo that shows the curved rear. - Jmabel | Talk 03:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Photo from rear now added. - Jmabel | Talk 04:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I can track down contact info and e-mail, sure. Good idea. And thanks for the help. • Lawrence Cohen 04:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
You can email me and I'll pass along Larry Kreisman's email, but I don't think I should post it here. - Jmabel | Talk 18:28, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, if you could ask him for the names (and dates?) of any additional sources, I could always track them down on my own to build this out further. If that's easier, to just copy/paste whatever list he may be able to provide to here? I wouldn't want to bother him with a cold-call email if you already know him. • Lawrence Cohen 18:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Nope, I don't really know him. Never met him face-to-face, though I imagine eventually I will. My only contact with him has been precisely writing him for help with similar sorts of things. So, contact me, I'll get you his email address, and you can make the query. Not really a matter of cold-calling: this is part of what Historic Seattle is about. Hmm. Historic Seattle. No article. I'll remedy that some time. - Jmabel | Talk 02:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I see his email address is posted on the organization's site: see http://www.historicseattle.org/contact/staff.aspx - Jmabel | Talk 18:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

That would be 10 feet per side.
Even 100 feet square (100 feet per side) sounds a little small.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.207.2 (talk) 21:52, 14 October 2007 (UTC) 

It is a little small, but I think it (the latter, that is, 100 feet square) is about right. Certainly roughly accurate in the dimension facing the street; I've never really considered whether the lot is precisely square. - Jmabel | Talk 18:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Nancy Chaney, Next chapter for a landmark library building in Ballard, Seattle Times, April 1, 2011. - Jmabel | Talk 15:18, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

I'll follow this up myself. - Jmabel | Talk 03:50, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Landmark status hearing Sept 19: http://www.ballardnewstribune.com/2012/08/23/news/old-carnegie-free-library-landmarks-nomination-ag --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:46, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Obviously there are multiple photos of the exterior, but there's only one old, very low resolution photo of the interior at Commons. More interior photos would be excellent, and something showing the current state of the building might be good; it recently changed over to a newer, much more downscale restaurant. There's also something going up next door. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:17, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

I removed |needs-photo=Yes from {{WikiProject United States}} because it has pictures. However, a previous editor indicated in an HTML comment that it would benefit from a picture of the interior. Peaceray (talk) 23:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

The last section, "The building today", ends prior to the landmark designation by the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board. Here is the designation report in November 2012, http://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/Neighborhoods/HistoricPreservation/Landmarks/RelatedDocuments/ballard-library-designation.pdf .
