In 1910, a new marble-laden public library financed by Andrew Carnegie and designed by noted architect Charles Thompson was constructed in downtown Little Rock (Pulaski County). The building, shown here, was razed in 1964. In 2009, the columns, which were saved, were relocated outside the entrance of the Central Arkansas Library Systems Main Library in Little Rocks River Market District.
