A rare and significant piece of local history, this 1901 former Andrew Carnegie Public Library—designed by architect James E. Clancy in the Neo-Classical Revival style—showcases grand classical columns and a striking symmetrical façade. The building served as a public library until 1971, later becoming the Menominee Range Museum, and was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977. Encompassing nearly 6,000 square feet, the structure offers a raised basement, a second-story porch with balustrade, and an elevated corner lot framed by a low retaining wall. The interior retains remarkable character with coved ceilings featuring Greek stucco detailing, original oak woodwork, and maple floors beneath current coverings, along with two bathrooms, an attached garage, and newer furnaces. With three levels and abundant storage, the layout provides flexibility for reconfiguration. This centrally located downtown landmark presents a unique opportunity to build upon its rich and storied past.
