N2  - Looking north on Locust St., from the corner with SE 3rd St. On the left is National City Bank customer parking and storage at 312 Locust St. This no longer stands. The flat topped building is a parking garage that spans from SE 4th St. to SE 5th St. and is still there. The light colored, decorative building is Central Library at 22 S.E. 5th St. Evans Hall was built on this spot in 1879 and dedicated to the cause of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). This was done in memory of her sons, grandsons of the city's namesake, who were killed in a drunken brawl in 1861. Evans Hall was torn down in 1930 (the library paid for the cost of this in return for the use of the land, which was leased to the library for 99 years at the princely sum of $1.00) and this library building opened in 1932. Central Library is the headquarters of the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library system. It moved into a new facility in 2004, and in 2006 the Children's Museum of Evansville (CMoE) opened in this building. The exterior remains largely unchanged from what is seen here.
