Time For Something New

Each day for the next 5 days I will post a new clue. The idea is to guess what building I am thinking of. It is a popular building.

What building am I?

Clue one:
I was opened for business on May 5th 1913.

I'd say the Library on Main Street West...they moved out of there old building and Hamilton's first Art Gallery occupied it after that.

I think IronWarrior got it right, as the Carnegie Library.

I should have played this a bit differently. IronWarrior already guessed it.

Anyone else want to try it doing it the right way? Keep answers quiet till the end. Or pm them to the person what your guess is.

It was the library.

I was trying to post this before FairHamilton posted, but this @$@#$ computer froze on me.

Iron Warrior got it after the first post. Don't use dates, as a quick Google search with the date and 'Hamilton' will usually find the building.

Here's one from me.

I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Nope, and nope (but funny).

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

No guesses today, so here's another one.

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

Clue #3: Try to think, "outside of the box"

I'll be back in the morning with another perhaps easier clue. But, I'm going to make you work for the answer. I'm not going to give it way

Great guess, and I can see that guess from the clues so far. But nope. Try again.
