Abstract: Andrew Carnegie’s first post-retirement project was establishing a pension and relief fund for old or injured employees of the Carnegie Company. In this letter to the Board of Directors he announces a gift of $4,000,000, to be held in trust for this purpose. “I make this first use of surplus wealth upon retiring from business as an acknowledgement of the debt which I owe to the workmen who have contributed so greatly to my success.” The same document also stipulates a separate $1,000,000 endowment for Braddock, Homestead and Duquesne libraries.

Abstract: Carnegie built the free libraries in Braddock (1895), Homestead (1896) and Duquesne (1901) to serve the employees of Carnegie Steel Company mills in those towns, and their families. In the beginning, the local steel mill would subsidize the libraries in Braddock and Homestead. In addition to the libraries, Braddock, Duquesne and Homestead institutions housed “Workingman's Clubs," with gymnasiums, bowling alleys, swimming pools, night school rooms, kindergartens, and assembly halls.
