Dogs have been a part of our families for along time. In todays new construction homes they are starting to get the spaces that they deserve. Over the past 4-5 years we have been seeing more and more areas of the home that are designed specifically for our four legged family members. On a recent tour of a few high end homes we say some very thought through designs including Pot fillers used for filling water bowls. Special areas for their beds and also more and more dog bath areas.

New Company Photos

The Old Library Building, commonly known as the Carnegie Building, is a historic landmark located at 200 E. 8th Street at the corner of Georgia Avenue in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. Funded by a $50,000 donation from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, it was constructed specifically to serve as the city’s public library. Work began around 1903, the cornerstone was laid on April 15, 1904, and the library officially opened to the public on July 17, 1905. Designed in the Classical or Neoclassical Revival style—sometimes described as Beaux-Arts Classical—the building is widely attributed to prominent local architect Reuben Harrison Hunt, though this attribution remains somewhat debated. Built with a raised stone basement and upper floors of marble, it features grand columns flanking the main entrance and finely detailed classical ornamentation.
