One of 125 libraries in Canada, 111 in Ontario, donated by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, constructed 1883-1929. ACO Ingersoll changed the town’s intent to demolish the library to restoration for sustainable community uses.

2018, purchased by Maurice Van Egdom and Victor Salas. Part of the condition of sale was that the building be designated.

June 3, 2019, reopened as Carnegie Hall Ingersoll. Exterior woodwork is repainted, windows replaced, interior revitalized for weddings and other events.
