Description
Opening its doors in 1924, the Grandview Heights Public Library moved to four different sites until arriving at its present location in 1936 where it was “built with WPA [Works Progress Administration] funds on land donated by George Cambridge Urlin, one of the founding fathers of Grandview Heights.” (ghpl.org)
