The story
In 1904, as the auto boom spread out from Detroit and the suburbs began to fill in, the Mount Clemens Public Library opened in Mount Clemens.
It was built in the Neoclassical style, and it still reads that way from the sidewalk.
The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 2021.
Go see it at 125 Macomb Pl. Photos never get the scale right.
The Anton Art Center, formerly known as the Carnegie Library, is a Neo-Classical building and Art Center located in Mount Clemens, Michigan, United States. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.
