Posted on March 2, 2018 by — No Comments
Standing at 9-11 West 124th Street, the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library is one of the numerous handsome branch libraries erected by the organization in the years during the construction of its main building at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. An elegant design by McKim, Mead & White, it balances austere detail with generous proportions and a sense of public luxury rarely present in more recent civic architecture.
