A solid square block outside, it was a lovely surprise to find this decorated vaulted ceiling inside.
Bristol Central Library is a historic building on the south side of College Green, Bristol, England. It contains the main collections of Bristol's public library.
Built in 1906 by Charles Holden, its design was influential in the development of Edwardian Free Style architecture. Holden would later go on to build the Edward VII Memorial Wing of the Bristol Royal Infirmary, giving Bristol two of its most highly regarded Edwardian buildings. The Library has been designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building.
In 1899 Vincent Stuckey Lean left a bequest of £50,000 to replace Bristol's old public library building on King Street. An architectural competition was organised, and won by the firm of H. Percy Adams with designs by his assistant Charles Holden, at a cost of £30,000. The new library was built on land adjacent to the historic Abbey Gatehouse, and opened in 1906.
Because of the slope of the site, which falls away sharply to the south, the building has two basement levels creating five visible storeys at the rear, while only three storeys are visible at the front. The north front of the building is a blend of Tudor Revival and Modern Movement styles, designed to harmonise with the adjoining Abbey Gatehouse.
In contrast to the exterior, the interior is largely Neoclassical, with extensive use being made of round-arched vaulting. The entrance hall, which is at the eastern end of the north front, has vaulting faced in turquoise glass mosaic. A variety of different kinds of marble is used for the flooring and other facings in the entrance hall and for the main staircase.

The Lorette Wilmot Library opened in 1957, and its second-floor stacks are surely well known to any serious Nazareth scholar. But how many students have followed the stacks all the way to the south end, where an elderly restroom waits behind an unmarked door?
I've been working on photos from Open House Melbourne over the weekend and got to the Law Library at the Supreme Court of Victoria and had to share this one, heavy processing on this one and dropped the saturation to give it an older look!

If you are a trusted friend with access to original size, it's fun to browse the titles. There's a big thick book on constipation. Amazing.
Mani Bhavan is the house where Gandhi lived when in Mumbai. It is now a museum retelling his story with the clever use of dioramas.
The library contains many books on Gandhi.
