Folks,

I'm doing some research on buildings in Brookneal, Virginia, and am trying
to pinpoint the date of construction for the building constructed as a
library (now a community building) by the David Bruce Library Fund.

I have found online information about the construction/establishment of
libraries by David Bruce in Charlotte Court House and Hanover. I understand
that he funded 11 libraries in rural Virginia.

Does anyone know where research on this fund might be located? I'm looking
for the date of construction of the Brookneal Library as well as the
architect(s) that Bruce may have used.
