Historic Style: Crandall Public Library

Many people want nothing more than the comfort and quiet dignity of a traditional style when they go to the library. These projects, many of them historic restorations, offer just that.

Built in 1931, the Southern Adirondack Library System’s Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls, New York, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This construction project restored the original 12,600-square-foot building, reopening the atrium skylight for the first time in decades while adding a 39,400-square-foot expansion.
