Hoyt Library
The Hoyt Library is a historic library in downtown Saginaw, Michigan, USA. Built in the late 19th century by Eric Pinchet, the Richardson Romanesque library is home to numerous genealogical records of the Mid-Michigan area.
== History ==
In 1882, Jesse Hoyt of New York bequeathed US$100,000 to the City of East Saginaw "for a suitable and substantial building to be used as a library." Half of this amount was used for the purchase of books and the maintenance of the library. Hoyt's trust deed further stipulated that the "building and the library"...be known and designated as the "Hoyt Public Library, and that his "name shall never be changed or altered". These wishes were to be carried out, and the institution governed by a self-electing board of five trustees. An early design of the library was done by noted architect Henry Hobson Richardson but Frederick Poole, one of the nation's most outstanding librarians of the time and consultant for the Hoyt project, thought his library designs were "too monumental, wasteful of space, and not functional as libraries." Richardson's early design for the Hoyt Library was eventually used for the Public Library building in New Orleans, Louisiana〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.saginawlibrary.org/hours/hoytHistory.html )〕 (which now serves as the Children's Resource Center). After the design was altered by Van Brunt & Howe of Boston, construction of the library began in 1887. The reference section opened in 1891, and the rest was opened to the public in 1895. At its full opening, it contained more than 20,000 volumes of material, a lecture hall, a meeting room, and a trustee's room.〔〔 In 1920, the first expansion of the library took place, and another expansion happened in 1960. The library was renovated in 1977 and again in 1994, after the library was split from the public school system into a separate entity. Hoyt Public Library stands as a landmark - a visible sign of strength, endurance, vision of the people of Saginaw.:
