Shooting the Algona Carnegie Library

Algona has built a new library so finding their Carnegie library was a little challenging. Fortunately, we saw one of the community elders sprinkling salt on his icy sidewalk and asked where the old library could be found. He made sure we knew about the new library and that we really meant the old library. Assured we knew what we were looking for, he gave us directions that brought us to the building in the photo. Not seeing any of the usual indicators of a Carnegie library, we were a bit skeptical and took a drive around the block. Finally, above a basement entrance on the right side of the building, we found a sign indicating we had the right place.
