Carnegie
Patton and Miller built Waukegan's first public library in 1903 following a $25,000 grant donated by Andrew Carnegie; it is best known as the "hideout" for a young Ray Bradbury.
The library was housed here until relocating to a larger building just east of here in 1965. After a brief stint as a USO and community center, the building was vacated by 1980; today, while it's still decently maintained and won't be going anywhere anytime soon: its future remains debated at city hall.
