The DeKalb Library built in 1905 is part of the extraordinary collection of libraries built world wide through funds provided by Andrew Carnegie. The project included the exterior restoration of the cornice, expansion of existing frontage to be reminiscent of the historic plaza, and integration of a new handicapped ramp and fence. A new interior elevator, ramp, lighting and shelving completed the project. This renovation won an award from both the New York Landmarks Conservancy as well as the New York City Art Commission.
