NYPL, Main Branch, Reading Room, 1910s
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Main reading room. The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, more widely known as the Main Branch, is the flagship building in the New York Public Library system and a prominent historic landmark in Midtown Manhattan. Work progressed slowly but steadily on the library, which cost $9 million to build. During the summer of 1905, huge columns were put into place and work on the roof was begun. By the end of 1906, the roof was finished and the designers commenced five years of interior work. The branch, opened in 1911, is one of four research libraries in the library system. Marble on the library building is about three feet thick, and the building is Vermont marble and brick all the way through. It stretches 390 feet along Fifth Avenue. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and designated a New York City Landmark in 1967. It was renamed in 2008 after businessman Stephen A. Schwarzman. Photographed by the Detroit Publishing Company, 1911-20.
