Paulding County Carnegie Library And All Trades Historical Restoration LLC For The Preservation And Rehabilitation Of The Paulding County Library At 205 South Main Street In Paulding
The Paulding County Carnegie Library Was The First “County” Library In The U.S. To Be Funded By Andrew Carnegie. The Library Was Built Between 1914 And 1916 Using French Gray Pressed Brick With Matching Bedford Indiana Stone Decoration. It Was Designed By Howard And Merriam Of Columbus Who Also Designed The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library. The Restrained Neoclassical Style Is A Good Example Of The Carnegie Design Guidelines That Focused On Function Over Ostentation.
In Spite Of Regular Maintenance Over The Lifetime Of The Library, Including Repair To The Exterior Masonry, When All Trades Historical Restoration Was Contracted For The Most Recent Round Of Tuck Pointing And Waterproofing They Discovered That A Serious Breach In The Integrity Of The Building Had Developed. Substantial Settling Of The Large Keystones Over Major Windows Resulted In The Brickwork Above To Pull Out Of Line With The Wall. On The South Side Of The Library, A Crack Developed From This Shifting That Followed A Line Up To The Roof. All Trades Further Found That These Breaches Allowed Moisture To Enter The Building Behind The Walls, Causing Damage To The Interior Walls.
In Response To This Discovery All Trades Conducted A Comprehensive Assessment Of The Façade And Developed A Thorough Program Of Restoration And Repair For The Exterior Of The Historic Library. The Keystones Were Removed, Reset And Secured, The Effected Bricks Were Reset In Their Original Locations, Old Mortar Was Replaced, And All Exterior Windows Were Repaired. This Project Exemplifies The Goals Of The Secretary Of The Interior’s Standards For Historic Preservation – Not Only By The Way These Specific Repairs Retain And Preserve The Original Features Of The Library, But Also Through The Philosophy Of Guardianship That Led To The Discovery And Resolution Of These Issues.
This Well Managed And Executed Project Allows The Paulding County Carnegie Library To Begin Its Centennial Celebrations, Confident That It Can Serve The Community For The Next 100 Years.

The latest project was a year-long restoration of our brick, mortar, and cast stone. This 97-year-old 60,000+ square foot building demands constant maintenance and the flexibility, knowledge, attention to detail and thoughtful project management that All Trades offers, along with Cassie’s incredible enthusiasm makes a sizable project seem to go smoothly and the building well cared for.
