KING LIBRARY

The past is present as you step through the grand red doors of Dr. Charles King's library. Opened to the public in 1888, the King Library was a dwelling for all who thirsted for knowledge. Its stately position on "King's Highway" makes this building a centerpiece in our community.

The Restoration

     In 2004, King Library Restoration Inc. was founded in order to rescue the library from further deterioration.

     Moss covered bricks, broken windows, and crumbling masonry were only a few challenges faced by the restoration efforts. Although many accomplishments have been made, the restoration of the building is far from complete.
