History
Cornish Library is one of two Carnegie Foundation libraries belonging to the Winnipeg Public Library system, the other one being St. John's Library. Designed by the architect S. Frank Peters, the 4,600 square foot structure was built in 1914 by the National Construction Company of Winnipeg. Through the years prominent users of the facility have included such important figures as Nellie McClung who conducted lectures from the basement.
