A pre-dawn fire destroyed Turlock's Carnegie Arts Center this morning. The brick building, which was in the midst of a major renovation and expansion, was one of the truly classic buildings in town. It was donated by industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1916 as a part of his plan to put libraries in small towns across America. It was used as a branch library until 1968.
