Brentwood Library's new building skeleton is emerging!

The new building on the west side of the property will be two and a half stories high. The dramatic skeleton gives an idea of the size, but is only an outline of the exciting building to come.

 

 

 

 

The skeleton is seen here from the north.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The old building has been opened up by removal of the north wall. New windows are to be inserted in the walls, while the douglas fir ceiling of the old building will remain.

 

 

 

 

 

While construction is ongoing, the tree at the north-east corner of the property is carefully surrounded by hoarding and other materials to protect it from accidental damage.
