- Description:
- Significance: The Library is a notable example of the Victorian Gothic idiom of the 1870s, more especially since an ecclesiastical form is used for a civic structure. The original (1878-79) building in its exterior form resembled a chapel; the two successive additions (1893-94; 1897-98) continued the analogy by presenting a structure that appears to be a small church with transept and extended chapel (or Lady Chapel). Its fine masonry exterior is complemented by an interior that presents exposed trusswork, contemporary stained glass, and stencil decoration.
