The former Welland Public Library was built in 1923 with a $25,000.00 grant from the Carnegie Foundation and was designed by Norman Kearns. The original building of dark red Milton brick and Indiana limestone reflects the typical Beaux-arts Classicism of Carnegie Libraries. Above the prominent entrance (now a window) is the City of Welland crest, a lion rampant flanked by two ships. This year the building became the new home of the Welland Historical Museum, was designated by Heritage Welland and will host a plaquing ceremony during Doors Open Niagara on Saturday October 14^th.  All are welcome to attend.
