Today I ventured out to find the Main Library in Port Elizabeth.  It's located on the Market Square, in an area of town that is being renovated for good reason; the Main Library was erected in 1902, after its terra cotta façade was manufactured in England and shipped to Algoa bay in pieces.

Unfortunately, it has been closed since April 14 for maintenance and restoration.  This is being done, in part, to address the damage caused by flooding which occurs whenever there are heavy rains.
