Public Library
Canal Fulton, Ohio
The Canal Fulton Public Library has been located in the original two-story Sullivan Residence that was constructed around 1880 since 1949. Additions in 1958 and 1992 have brought the footprint of the historic Italianate style mansion to nearly 7,000 square feet.

After a comprehensive facility assessment and master plan was completed in August of 2002, CBLH Design proceeded on the first of three phases for the library's growth. The first phase is a new entrance lobby, a new parking lot, limited interior renovations and complete exterior renovation work. The second and third phases include a community room and increased collection space.
The unique aspects of the services provided within the Library, the constraints of the existing building, the opportunities that might be available and adjacent to the site, and the way Canal Fulton Public Library fits into the urban fabric of the city and surrounding community were all considered in the planning of this civic structure.
