CONNEAUT - - A building that once spoke volumes about Conneaut is now available for the right price.
The vacant Carnegie Public Library at 282 State St., is back on the market and looking for a new owner with an interest in historic architecture.
For nearly 90 years, the library in the heart of Conneaut's downtown district, doled out books to generations of local readers. The building was closed in 1998 when a new library opened one block to the north.
Since then, the library has had two private owners, and a third could be waiting in the wings.
"It's a fascinating building," said Richard Gleason, whose Gleason Realty is offering the old library.
Health concerns have prompted the owners, Robert and Shirley Bondy of Conneaut, to sell the building, Gleason said. The couple is asking $195,000, he said.
The couple purchased the building in November 2004, after the first private owner died, according to Ashtabula County Courthouse records.
"They started some cleanup and restoration work," Gleason said.
Gone is the mezzanine that boasted a unique, translucent glass floor. With the mezzanine removed, the ceiling in the main level now soars a dramatic 25 feet, Gleason said.
