Springfield's new library is made possible through the
munificence of Andrew Carnegie, with his gift of $200,000,
supplemented by gifts of $155,000 from 378 public-spirited
citizens of Springfield. The building has ample room for
500,000 books.
The general architecture is Italian Renaissance. The base
of the building is Pink Granite and the principal material used
is White Marble. White Terra Cotta makes an appropriate
trim; the roof is a green tile.
For the beauty of this artistic structure, its strength and
solidity, the city is indebted to the architect, Edward L. Tilton.
J. E. & A. L. Pennock of Philadelphia are the builders.
