00:00:48.014 --> 00:00:55.655
CARNEGIE OFFERED UP HIS MILLIONS
TO BUILD PUBLIC LIBRARIES ACROSS
THE UNITED STATES.
HOOSIERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF

9
00:00:55.655 --> 00:01:00.693
CARNEGIE'S GENEROSITY AND
SECURED FUNDING FOR OVER 160
LIBRARIES.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN THE

10
00:01:00.693 --> 00:01:07.467
COUNTRY.
BUT AS OUR MARY-RACHEL REDMAN
REPORTS, THIS CARNEGIE LIBRARY
LOCATED IN MADISON COUNTY IS

11
00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:19.012
PARTICULARLY SPECIAL.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN DANGER OF
BECOMING EXTINCT.
>> MY OPPONENT AND ASSOCIATES

12
00:01:19.012 --> 00:01:31.558
WANT THE NEW DEAL TICKET.
>> 80 YEARS AGO WILKIE WAS
NOMINATED AS THE CANDIDATE TO
FACE FDR FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN

13
00:01:31.558 --> 00:01:38.298
1940.
>> IN ANY CONTEST HE CHOOSES IN
1940 OR AFTER.
>> DESPITE GIVING FDR HIS

14
00:01:38.298 --> 00:01:46.039
CLOSEST ELECTION ULTIMATELY HIS
BID WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BUT ONE
COULD ARGUE THE NAME HAD FAR
MORE REACHING BENEFITS FOR THE

15
00:01:46.039 --> 00:01:54.214
COMMUNITY OF ELLWOOD OUTSIDE OF
THE POLITICAL ARENA.
>> THIS IS A TREASURE TO HAVE IN
YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY.

16
00:01:54.214 --> 00:02:01.454
>> ANDREW CARNEGIE WAS THE
RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD AND AT
THE TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY HE BEGAN
OFFERING HIS MILLIONS TO

17
00:02:01.454 --> 00:02:11.197
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
TO BUILD PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
ENTER HIS PARENTS KEY PLAYERS IN
SECURING THIS LIBRARY FOR THE

18
00:02:11.197 --> 00:02:20.640
CITY OF ELWOOD.
>> THE EFFORT WAS EXTENSIVE AND
IT PAID OFF ONLY AFTER SIX YEARS
OF WORKING TO GET THIS LIBRARY.

19
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:29.115
>> IN AUGUST OF 1901 CITIZENS
ROSE TO HIM INFORMING HIM THEIR
CURRENT LIBRARY WAS SO POPULAR
IN A MATTER OF MONTHS IT WOULD

20
00:02:29.115 --> 00:02:36.923
NO LONGER BE BIG ENOUGH.
THE LETTER WENT ON TO SAY THE
CITY DID NOT HAVE ANY CITIZENS
WEALTHY ENOUGH TO PURCHASE A NEW

21
00:02:36.923 --> 00:02:42.295
BUILDING AND ASKED FOR HIS
GENEROSITY.
>> AFTER THE PLANS WERE
SUBMITTED FOR THIS LIBRARY AND

22
00:02:42.295 --> 00:02:49.235
THEY REVIEWED THEM THEY SAID
THIS WAS THE IDEAL STANDARD FOR
LIBRARY CIRCULATION.
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

23
00:02:49.235 --> 00:02:57.677
RECOMMENDED THE BOSTON PUBLIC
LIBRARY TO MODEL THEIR
CONSTRUCTION AFTER ELWOOD'S
LIBRARY HERE IN INDIANA, BUT THE

24
00:02:57.677 --> 00:03:07.220
ARCHITECTURE IS AT A TECH HERE
THE CIRCULATION METHOD IS AN
ATTACK AND VERY LITTLE
ALTERATIONS.

25
00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:14.627
>> THE LIBRARY WOULD SERVE THE
CITIZENS FOR NEARLY A CENTURY
BEFORE GOING ON THE MARKET IN
THE MID- 90s AND THEY REMAIN

26
00:03:14.627 --> 00:03:21.701
VACANT UNTIL 2018 WHEN AN
OUT-OF-STATE BUYER PURCHASED THE
PROPERTY BUT HAS DONE LITTLE TO
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.

27
00:03:21.701 --> 00:03:28.074
>> THE INNER IS FROM OUT OF
STATE AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEY
APPRECIATE THE POTENTIAL VALUE
OF WHAT IT MEANS TO THE CITY

28
00:03:28.074 --> 00:03:34.380
WHEN THE GREAT MEMORIES WE'VE
HAD FROM RESIDENTS THAT HAVE
GROWN UP GENERATION TO
GENERATION.

29
00:03:34.380 --> 00:03:41.421
>> IT'S SITTING HERE VACANT AND
SOME LEAKING THAT WAS OCCURRING
THAT CAUSED MOLD GROWTH IN THE
BASEMENT AND THERE ARE OTHER

30
00:03:41.421 --> 00:03:49.429
ISSUES TO BE REPAIRED.
YOU CAN SEE THERE IS PAINT THAT
IS FAILING AND SOME WINDOWS NEED
TO BE FIXED OR REPAIRED SO THERE

31
00:03:49.429 --> 00:03:57.236
ARE SOME ISSUES THAT IF YOU LET
THEM CONTINUE TO LINGER OTHER
THINGS WILL INFILTRATE AND THE
BUILDING WILL EVENTUALLY START

32
00:03:57.236 --> 00:04:03.643
TO CRUMBLE.
>> IT SAT EMPTY FOR, SO LONG
THAT IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN
WORKING HARD TO ACQUIRE THE

33
00:04:03.643 --> 00:04:13.419
OWNERSHIP SO WE CAN FIX IT UP
AND TRULY SAVE A LANDMARK.
>> I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE TURNED
INTO A BUSINESS OR A RESTAURANT,

34
00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:20.293
A BREWERY, ANYTHING REALLY JUST
TO PRESERVE THE ARCHITECTURE OF
THE BUILDING WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
>> IT MAKES YOU SHIVER WHEN YOU

35
00:04:20.293 --> 00:04:27.467
WALK IN JUST THE EFFORT THAT HAS
GONE IN THERE.
IT'S A VERY IMPACTFUL SPACE AND
I'M HOPING THAT THROUGH OUR

36
00:04:27.467 --> 00:04:29.736
EFFORTS THAT THE OWNER'S EFFORTS
THAT WE SEE THESE EFFORTS THAT
