    I haven't been here in ages...used to go on my lunch hour once-in-awhile while I worked at Holt, Rhinhart a few blocks away. I remember being in awe...but don't remember the details I see in these photos...do they still exist, or have they been altered beyond recognition?

    The place is in pretty incredible shape. Plus it just had a major exterior restoration and cleaning...hasn't looked this good in 100 years.

    If you go to the library webpage, it say's they give free tours of the building.
