Fighting to Save the Telling Mansion Library



County library board postpones vote on sale of Telling Mansion, home of South Euclid-Lyndhurst Library. (Cleveland Plain Dealer, 8/4/2013)

Excerpt: The board is considering selling the building for $755,000 to Richard Barone. Barone, a Sarasota, Fla. investor, grew up in South Euclid and has plans to convert the Telling Mansion into the American Porcelain Museum. Barone is a collector of porcelain art and the museum would hold pieces from his private collection, as well as those from other collections. 

The CCPL, meanwhile, has plans to build a new branch to serve South Euclid and Lyndhurst on South Green Road in South Euclid, across from Notre Dame College. It would likely open sometime in 2014.
