Title
Kelso Public Library & Centenary Garden
Description
Bold, well detailed Scottish Renaissance building with tall mullioned and transomed windows to Bowmont Street. The carved stone panel over the front door with the inscription �Let there be light� marks the library as being in part funded by Andrew Carnegie (who provided �3,500 towards the costs). The upper floor with three dormers was originally used as the librarian�s flat. The library replaced an earlier house on the site and the former rear garden has been developed as a small courtyard garden.
