El Dorado's first library was built in 1912 from locally quarried hand-cut, native white limestone. Topped with the Spanish tiled roof, the library was funded in part by Andrew Carnegie. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is now privately owned with no public access, but it remains as a historic piece of distinguished architecture located across the street from the equally distinquished Court House built in 1909.

A new library was built in 1959 to accommodate the growth of public use of the library facilities. The Bradford Memorial Library was built with a donation by Mrs. Ruth Bradford as a memorial to her husband, Robert H. Bradford. The new library is located at 611 S. Washington.

Evening Post collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, Reference: PAColl-5482-038

Published in the Wellingtonian 2 September 2010

This year is the ninetieth anniversary of the opening of the Alexander Turnbull Library. Here is the original Library building on Bowen Street, glimpsed from an unusual view, through demolition rubble at the bottom end of Lambton Quay.

The house had been built in 1916 for the Wellington businessman and collector, Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull. He died soon after, leaving his remarkable collection of books, manuscripts, artworks and other documentary treasures to the nation.

The house is still there, a protected heritage building, and the occasional tourist still wanders in, wondering where the books are. But the Turnbull Library has long outgrown its original home and is now part of the National Library on Molesworth Street. At the moment the Molesworth Street building is being refurbished and the Turnbull is operating from temporary premises on Thorndon Quay and from the Archives New Zealand building on Mulgrave Street. The Molesworth Street building will reopen, better than ever, in early 2012.

The demolition was to make room for a realigned Bowen Street, so that the grand new World War I Centotaph could be built where the Bowen Street intersection used to be.

Wellingtonians: From the Turnbull Collections contains revised and expanded entries, and some new ones too. This high-quality publication is available for just $29.99. You can pick it up from from good bookshops or get it straight from the publisher, Steele Roberts.

I was determined to hate it, but I don't. I like it. It's rather fun, and I look forward to visiting again to go inside. Still don't excuse what they're doing to the old library, mind.

The British Library has a wonderful "Treasures" collection of literary pieces. They range from different illustrations of Alice in Wonderland, the original Magna Carta, original various religious texts, Di Vinci's notes, and artifacts. Since no cameras were allowed I decided to sketch Jane Austen's writing desk for you.

The Library of Congress has to be one of the most beautiful building interiors I've ever seen. There will be many more photos of it in the days to come. :)

For FlickrBingo 2, week 48

Not a great shot. They've placed a lot of stuff in front of this, making the light even worse than usual. Otherwise this piece is full of nice details - I had it earmarked for this assignment all along.

I had the day off of work today, so a few of us got together at Adler Planetarium and then made our way to the University of Chicago. I shot inside the Harper Memorial Library for the first time. The student at the entrance to the library was very helpful. She took us up into the loft for a shot out over the library. The library has been converted into a reading lounge, but it is still a very cool location..

Don't forget to join me on March 10th for our second Out of Chicago photo walk. Hopefully we will be able to get into this location for one of our stops. It should be a fun night..

Joining me today were Tony Reynes, Howard Frank, Rick Seidel, and Jonathan Robson. Check out their Flickr sites to see their shots from today.

It seems the Somerville Public Library's decorated bull skull carvings are called bucrania, which is an ancient Roman tradition, or an even older neolithic fertility totem.

I'd always just assumed that the architect had a Texas fetish. It's heartening to learn that it goes a lot deeper than that. Moreover, such things can be found all over town, if you keep an eye out.

That is all, move along, citizens.

Erick and I went to the library's monthly book sale today. I got some books and some magazines. I bought a book for Erick (that will be in his flickr) and some magazines for my mom (not shown here) :)

Here one gets a pretty good feeling of how the individual levels more or less 'float' above one-another, each stack of floors representing a different function. As each 'function-block' is horizontally shifted, the facade 'net' simply follows this shift.
