English: Constructed in 1913-1914, this Classical Revival-style building was funded by the Carnegie Foundation, and constructed as a library for Centre College to replace a previous library constructed in the 1890s, and served as the Centre College library until Crounse Hall was completed in 1967. The red brick building features a red tile hipped roof with decorative exposed rafter ends, corinthian pilasters flanking the three central bays fo the front facade, large stained glass windows, limestone trim, a limestone base, quoins flanking the two outer bays of the front facade, with arched windows on the second floor of the outer bays, a central portico with ionic columns, brackets, and a decorative stone surround at the main entrance, arched windows on the second floor of the side facades, with an addition in the northwest corner of the building featuring quoins at the corner and a low-slope roof with a parapet. The rear facade features three levels of double-hung windows, divided by pilasters into vertical bays running from the sills on the first floor to the roof of the building. Following the library’s relocation out of the building, Old Carnegie served variously as home to Centre College’s admissions office, bookstore, and the campus post office, and is presently utilized as administrative offices and a special events center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and is a contributing structure in the Danville Commercial District Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
