liquidnight: Interior of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County “Old Main” Building, photographer unknown, 1874. In 1874 the Public Library of Cincinnati took possession of a small building intended to be an opera house. According to John Fleishman, “the parcel at 629 Vine Street was transformed in two stages into a library building that startled America with its cutting edge design. Its vast Main Hall featured five tiers of cast-iron book alcoves that could house over 200,000 volumes.” [From Ohio Memory via { feuilleton }]
