345:. Columbus was initially passed over by Carnegie for funds to build a large main library, as it was against his preference for smaller branches accessible to local working class residents. Library director John Pugh traveled to New York City and secured Carnegie's $ 150,000 donation after bonding over their similar heritage; Carnegie was Scottish and Pugh was Welsh. Carnegie's secretary composed a letter stating that, “not more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars would be spent upon the main building,” on the condition that the city fund the library for, “at least twenty thousand dollars a year.” The City Council approved the offer and used the initial funds to purchase the $ 40,000 estate of Thomas Ewing Miller at 96 S. Grant Avenue. With cost of construction exceeding initial estimates, Carnegie agreed to fund an additional $ 50,000, bringing his full donation to $ 200,000. A construction contract was awarded to James Westwater & Company, and the building was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1906. The building had a cost of $ 310,000; the city covered the remaining amount and agreed to pay at least $ 20,000 per year in maintenance and growth; a stipulation of Carnegie's gift. Carnegie's library was dedicated on April 4, 1907.
