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. 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.
