I just wanted to mention a really cool library renovation project going on in my area. It’s one a lot of us around here are interested in because they are taking the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Free Library’s wonderful old 1862 building (a renovated church) and adding an addition below it. That’s right, they have lifted the whole historic building up and have just poured a new basement and foundation underneath. It looks like such a cool project, and when I drove past the other day, it was quite a sight to behold.
I love that this is a project that seems to really balance the past, present, and future nicely. They’re looking forward to the growth of their library while preserving the past. And they’re taking care of the present in a nice temporary space. Take a look at their Flickr photostream and renovation blog, as well as the Library Renovation portion of their Web site! I can’t wait to see the finished product!!!
