Sorry if this has been posted before but check out this awesome photo collection from the East Corinth library website (actually called the Blake Memorial Library). The library is the same brick building that Charles says has, "Gooood parking." Lots of behind the scenes photos I haven't seen before, including the construction of the Maitland/Deetz house facade, the covered bridge, Davis and Baldwin resting between takes, what appears to be Adam and Barbara's grave from a possible deleted scene, and finding out what Ernie looks like, etc. Link is below:

It looks like that redbrick library building has been replaced since Beetlejuice (1988), judging by available pictures:

But it's puzzling because the inscription on the current building says 1949.

Maybe there's new work over old.
Does anyone know? Something seems amiss.

Here's my own answer, from further down in the photostream:

Finished, as can be seen in the top views, it's a very convincing vintage facade. But this closeup shows it's fake.

Here're some more pix that indicate the movie facade was modeled after an actual older version of that library:
