In 1910 the library was moved to another building, leaving this Romanesque building under-utilized but still belonging to the library. The Playhouse Association was founded as a World War I relief organization, and the theatrical group rented the empty older library from the Summit Library Association for one dollar a year for the next fifty years on condition that the group maintain the facility.Original file name IMG_6250%20%281%29.jpg3600 x 2850Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
