A Brief History of the Building 1905: Andrew Carnegie gave $260,000 to Springfield to build a central library and three branches. 1978: After being closed down by the city in the early 1970s, the building was offered to the St. George Cathedral community for $1.00. Tens of thousands of dollars have been since spent to update it. Additions were added to the back and side to create the present Greek Cultural Center.
