    "Foundation stone laid by Andrew Carnegie in 1903 with the building opening in 1905. Located on Anglesea Street next to City Hall, this elegant building lasted for only 15 years, until 1920. Destroyed in the fire set by British Forces in 1920 retaliating to continuing guerrilla activity by the IRA, which destroyed a good portion of the area." archiseek.com/2013/carnegie-library-cork/

    "Librarian and poet Thomas McCarthy tells the story of the destruction of the library and the subsequent restoration of public library service in the city." It includes photos of the library after the burning in 1920.

    I wonder are they the librarians up on the balcony/terrace?

    Some info on the building: The Carnegie Free Library on Cork’s Anglesea Street (at the western side of today’s City Hall) was officially opened on 12 September 12 1905 at 2.30 in the afternoon. Newspaper reports of the time describe a beautiful building, Elizabethan in style, with the best possible utilisation of space. The vestibule had a terrazzo floor laid by Italian workmen. In common with most Carnegie Free Libraries built at the time, there was a Ladies Reading Room, with its own entrance on the ground floor. The furniture was all made in Cork, with the notice case, the counter, bookstalls and bookcases made from mahogany by John Callanan of Cork. The artistic iron railing which surrounded the building was made by a Mr Watson of Cork and the main contractor was Patrick Murphy.

    Curiously the Cork Examiner retrospective "Picture That" makes no mention of the 1902 exhibition but does mention the huge popularity of the 1889 exhibition
