Buildings, Public Buildings, Historic Sites, |
Reading Room in the Calumet and Hecla Public Library located at 101 Red Jacket Road, Calumet, Houghton County, Michigan. The Calumet and Hecla Public Library, with baths in the basement, was a notable demonstration of the paternalism of a great corporation. In addition to providing unmatched cultural facilites with its collection of books, newspapers, and periodicals in many foreign languages, mounted prints, stereopticon views, Underwood and Keystone travel tours, maps, mineral speciments, and other displays, the library performed a didactic role. Its collection helped to acculturate the many foreigners in Calumet and was one of the most significant and beloved institutions in the community. The Building is a striking blend of sophisticated design and the handsome stonework of local mansons. Scanned: August 9, 2013 |
