LATE OPENING: The Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library will open at 2:30pm on Sunday, April 27, due to the Memorial Marathon.
The Ralph Ellison Library at 2000 NE 23rd St is closed for upgrades beginning April 16. We anticipate reopening on May 6.
Constructed in 1911 by brothers, Sam and Leon Levy, the Mercantile Building housed many stores over the years including Ingram's Drug and Janet's Millinery Shop. It was demolished as part of urban renewal on February 29, 1976 as the city cleared the area for the planned Galleria.
