Virginia Cooper bought the Carnegie Library in Zumbrota on Dec. 1, 2023 and is excited to transition the location back into an artist hub in the community.
A historic former library in Zumbrota that s up for sale and it s going for less than $200,000! That price tag was shocking to me, I thought for sure it would be more expensive than that. This building is the former Carnegie Library in Zumbrota and it s listed for $150,000 (or you could lease it for $1,500/month.
According to the Zumbrota Public Library website, the Carnegie Library opened in 1908 and was the town s public library for 87 years. It s currently a gallery and pottery studio called Crossings at Carnegie where you can take art classes and workshops.
The person who owns Crossings at Carnegie would consider leasing back a portion of the building for her art-related business according to the listing through Realty Growth Incorporated. So there s some immediate income right there!
