Carnegie Library — Superior, Wisconsin
Although this is not a Minnesota place, it was just across the bridge from Duluth, so I took the opportunity to visit Superior, Wisconsin to snap a few pics. Built in 1901, this is one of two Carnegie libraries in Superior. It is on Hammond Avenue in a working class part of town. It is [...]
