The tycoon Andrew Carnegie paid for the
construction of the Conway County library in Morrilton in 1916. The
structure`s roof has held up with only minimal repairs in the
nearly 90 years since it was built.
Now, the original decking underneath the tile roof is being
replaced.
Library Director Zoe Butler says only a few of the tiles
themselves had to be changed out.
The company that produced the original tiles is still doing
business and was able to create new ones from the same set of
molds.
