Extract

The Foundation-stone of the City’s Central Library was laid in 1887 by Andrew Carnegie and in June 1890 the library opened its doors. The architect of this French-Renaissance style building was George Washington Browne.

The Central Library is “Subject departmentalized” - there being libraries devoted to Local History, Scottish subjects, Music and Fine Art. The latter library occupies the top floor of a corner site on George IV Bridge/Victoria Street and was opened in 1935/36.
