CLARKSBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY, Clarksburg,
West Virginia This handsome southern
home known as "Waldomore," and the spa-
cious grounds surrounding it, situated in the
heart of Clarksburg, were devised to the city
in 1930 by Mrs. May Goff Lowndes for use
as a public library and museum. The home
was built in 1839 by her father, Waldo P.
Goff. The name "Waldomore'' was given to
the property by Mrs. Lowndes in honor of
her father and mother. The city's public li-
brary was established in 1907 and has been
permanently located in Waldomore since 1931.
