Recuperation journey: Day 8 - Getting into the spirit

This morning I found pink bear hanging out with Norm the Gnome. At least she wasn't swinging from a light fixture today.

'Turnback Tuesday' features Derby Public Library construction

Turnback Tuesday shows what the Derby Public Library looked like while under construction. 
Made of Ansonia granite and Portland cement, the concrete foundation has dimensions of 57’ by 59’. The floors and roof are supported by iron columns and steel girders. 
The building is of colonial architecture and boasts a Spanish tile roof. Granite steps lead up to the back entrance. 
Best guess is the photo was taken in early spring 1902, by Eagle Photo Co., Fall River, Mass. 
The Library was officially opened to the public February 2, 1903.


*Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
