History and architectural features

The Hazelwood Branch Carnegie Library left this location in mid 2004 and was reopened in a recently constructed building on Second Avenue. In 2009 and again in 2011, the branch was threatened with closure due to funding shortfalls within the Carnegie Library system. The Branch re-opened in a third location in a renovated church on Second Avenue in June 2014 after a $2.4 million restoration which doubled its original 3,500 square feet space to 7,000 square feet. The Monongahela Street structure remains vacant.
