Named in the 1879 county history

The history of Lorain County was published 10 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

"In 1902 Hon. Myi'on T. Ilerrick, a former townsman, purcliased the hotel property on the public .square and caused to be erected on the hotel site our present beautiful and spacious library building, that will accommodate from 10,000 to 12,000 volumes. In January, 1U04, Governorelect Ilerrick, with a party of friends from Cleveland, came to Wellington on a bitter cold day and through a furious storm, and in a jiublic meeting held in our Opera House, formally delivered to our townsliip trustees a deed of the new libi-ary building, known as the "Ili'ri'iek Libi'ary.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Lorain County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
