Mitchell Library

Watt and Michelangelo.

 

James Sellars, 1873-77.

 

As the book says, "the Schinkelesque composition of the main front is imposing and supremely self-confident."

 

The sculpture is by the Mossman family, the caryatids by William Mossman Junior.

 

The facade rebuilt after a fire destroyed the St Andrew's Halls, is now the main entrance to the Mitchell Library.
