Brandon Public Library Restoration

Link to May 14 Fond du Lac Reporter article, "Donations sought for restoring Brandon Library".

Excerpt: Brandon history buffs are seeking donations to support a restoration project for the interior of the Brandon Public Library, the village's only state and national historic building.

As the Public Works Department and private contractors work to repair foundation and framework damage to the historic building, the interior is suffering cracks, holes and blemishes that will need attention once the emergency work is finished, according to a release from the library.

Proposed restoration would include a bright historic paint theme, refinishing original hardwood floors, and installing new carpeting as well as vintage woodwork throughout the building.
