Excerpt from History, Significance, and Feasibility for Adaptive Use of the William Reddick Mansion at Ottawa, Illinois: Prepared for the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Ottawa Silica Company Foundation
This study was commissioned by the Ottawa Silica Company Foundation and The National Trust for Historic Preservation to generate public support for the preservation and public use of the Ottawa residence of William Reddick. The question of find ing a feasible adaptive use for the residence, which has housed the Ottawa public library since Reddick's death in the l88o's, arose because the Library Board decided to build and move to a new library building, now completed.
The consultants, selected by the contractors, were asked to establish the historical significance of William Reddick, who willed the residence to Ottawa for a public library, and the architectural significance of the building itself. They were also commissioned to determine the present physical condition of the building and to suggest the most feasible ownership and adaptive use of the Reddick mansion in order to preserve and operate it in the public interest.
