Description

Historic 1917 Carnegie Library Turned Private Residence. Step into a one-of-a-kind property rich with character and history — the former East End Branch of the Superior Public Library, originally built in 1917 and thoughtfully converted into a private residence in 1992. This rare gem also once served as a local police station and now offers a unique blend of historic architecture and comfortable living. Located in Superior’s desirable East End, this Georgian Revival-style, one-story brick building is a showcase of classic design by architect Kenneth Crumpton. Exterior highlights include: Symmetrical brick facades with original quoining. Arched multi-pane windows with brick-and-stone surrounds. A stone water table and simple wood entablature with elegant modillion detailing. A stately front entrance featuring paneled double doors beneath a segmental-arched transom, flanked by wood pilasters and topped by a stone-carved parapet. Inside, the home offers main level living with a bedroom, full bathroom, and a functional kitchen. Enjoy the beauty and bounty of this property, featuring stunning magnolia trees, a mature apple tree, and three productive pear trees. The yard also offers an abundance of rhubarb and grapevines—including delicious Concord grapes—perfect for gardening enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys fresh, homegrown produce. While preserving many original elements, the residence provides the comfort and flexibility of modern living within a truly historical setting. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, history buff, or simply someone looking for a home unlike any other — this property invites you to be part of its storied legacy.
