Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls
[edit]
- ... that the grand architecture of the Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls (pictured) helped to influence Andrew Carnegie's decision to require simple designs for Carnegie libraries?

- Comment: Bigtime expanded, from 592 unreferenced characters to 6297 fully-referenced characters. Hook comes from the end of the second "History" paragraph, which notes that Beaver Falls was one of several libraries that induced Carnegie to "announce that future Carnegie libraries would be substantially smaller buildings with simpler standardized floor plans".
5x expanded by Nyttend (talk). Self nominated at 04:16, 17 December 2013 (UTC).
The article was expanded within the last five days, the prose portion of the text is more than 5x greater than the prose in the original stub. It is written well and it is neutral. Citations are inline and adequate. I could find no copyright violations or close paraphrasing of text. The hook is sourced, under 200 characters, and interesting. The article is good to go.
