Gilbert M. Simmons Public Library
Interior view of the Gilbert M. Simmons Public Library. The library opened in 1900 and was funded with a gift of $150,000 from G.M. Simmons. Through a large opening a woman (librarian?) can be seen seated at a librarian's desk, in a room with reading tables and bookshelves. There is a high, ornate coffered ceiling, with chandeliers suspended from it, large windows, and marble walls. |
