FOCUS: How Norcross got what looks like Carnegie Library but isn’t

By Geoff Hammett | It’s interesting that a Carnegie Library style building in Norcross resembles the early 1900s one-room Carnegie Library designs, but the Norcross library was built in 1921. So I investigated the possibility that the Norcross Library could be an unaccounted for Carnegie Library. Even if not funded as a Carnegie Library, the building is at least in spirit and in appearance a Carnegie Library. It eventually became the first library in Gwinnett County.
