The Radcliffe Camera, Oxford - North door

Designed by James Gibbs in the neo-classical (grand Palladian style) style and constructed between 1737–49 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. In 1860 it lost its independence as a library and became a reading room of the Bodleian Library. The Latin word 'camera' simply means 'room'.
