Exploring an ABANDONED Orphanage
We explore an amazing abandoned orphanage turned day care that has been sitting since it was flooded by Katrina in 2005. There were moments I heard strange noises from some of the rooms ahead of me but never could figure out what they were.

The Carnegie History
Whether on stage, in the classroom or in a gallery, The Carnegie inspires creativity for all.
The Carnegie's iconic building, originally constructed in 1904 as a Carnegie Library, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is one of only a few remaining Carnegie Libraries in the United States with a full-scale auditorium
Established in 1972, The Carnegie is the largest and only multidisciplinary arts venue in Northern Kentucky, with The Carnegie Galleries, the Eva G. Farris Education Center and the Otto M. Budig Theatre housed together under the landmark dome.
The Carnegie's mission of providing an extraordinary venue for the arts and arts education is made possible through the generosity of individuals, private foundations and businesses in our community.
The Carnegie's doors have been open to the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati community for over three decades. They've changed names over the years, from the Northern Kentucky Arts Council, to The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center -- recently shortened to The Carnegie -- but their commitment to the arts remains unchanged.
One of the most intriguing aspects of The Carnegie's history is the story of its iconic building. In 1904, philanthropist Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of a library, to be called The Covington Public Library.
The library was unique for the time, in that the founding board chose to designate it open to all citizens -- making it one of the first integrated libraries in the south. The library quickly became a cornerstone of the community, providing citizens with a rich literature collection. Two years later, a full-scale theatre was added, which served as a town hall for the community and played host to political speeches and theatre events of the time.
The library and theatre continued to thrive through the years leading up to World War II. During the war, the theatre's original copper roof was removed and sold for scrap. Left exposed to the elements, the theatre suffered significant water damage. The theatre began a gradual decline and in 1958, without the funds to repair it, the library boarded up the theatre.
Both the library and the theatre were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. However, that designation alone was not enough to save both buildings from potential demolition in 1974, when the Covington library moved to a larger facility. It took a group of interested Covington citizens to save The Carnegie from the wrecking ball. They formed the Northern Kentucky Arts Council, and turned The Carnegie building into a non-profit community arts center.
The theatre was used infrequently over the ensuing years because of its serious, even dangerous, disrepair. Over that time the name changed from The Northern Kentucky Arts Council to The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center and we continued to develop as a gallery for new and emerging regional artists. Arts education classes for children were introduced.
In 1999, the State of Kentucky, the City of Covington, The Carnegie board and many others, led The Carnegie to its biggest transformation. From this initiative, a connector addition was completed in 2003, linking the galleries with the theatre. That project sparked the creation in 2004 of a bright and beautiful new classroom space, the Eva G. Farris Education Center.
In 2005, The Carnegie's signature stained glass interior dome was completely refurbished. The only piece remaining to complete The Carnegie's metamorphosis was the renovation of the theatre. Hundreds of gifts from large to small, as well as hard work from architects, builders and more restored what is now the Otto M. Budig Theatre at The Carnegie.
The Otto M. Budig Theatre celebrated its grand opening on March 24 -- 26, 2006.
