Dudgeon Library

Image

Interior view of the Dudgeon Library. An ornate coffered ceiling from which lamps hang from chains dominates the room. There are two large signs that read "Subject Catalogue" over the card catalogs. Card catalogs line the walls, and along the back wall in front of a doorway is a librarian's desk.
