Lawton’s Carnegie Library receives emergency restoration repairs

LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - The Carnegie Library Town Hall recently received emergency preservation work, according to City of Lawton staff.

A press release says the need for emergency repairs was recently identified through an inspection by the McMahon Auditorium Authority.

During the inspection, they realized a cast stone header, just above a window, was at risk of falling off, which could have injured personnel or caused damage to their HVAC equipment.

It goes on to say Councilman Hampton of Ward Five authorized a portion of his funds to be used, so the emergency repairs could be completed quickly.
