After a birthday dinner I had looked up the hours for this library as it had been talked about a while. I wasnt expecting to shoot almost a full set, but the night was really nice for this one.

It's a interesting concept ! And it's cool they did that instead of demolishing it frl

I believe that if a building is designated, then with approval from TPTB, a glass shell around the exterior doesn't seem to count as "modifying a fascade". The "Old Post Office" in Galt ( now public library, also location on this website) follows the same concept. While I prefer everything get kept, only so much can be done with time. It was a well planned renovation/restoration when it was done.
