The magnificent monastery library was built between 1680 and 1689, also by Carlo Antonio Carlone. It is one of the great libraries of Austria and contains about 160,000 volumes, besides 1,700 manuscripts and nearly 2,000 incunabula. The most valuable book is the "Codex Millenarius", a Gospel Book written around 800 in Mondsee Abbey. Facsimiles of this codex may be found in the libraries of a number of universities throughout the world.

The tallest building West of the Mississippi, for now. They're building an observation deck that should be open early 2016. That's exciting, we have one more than zero of them in Downtown now. Things are on an upswing in this area.

The lexicon library in Dunlaoghaire reflected in the ponds in the square beside it. The building of this library caused controversy at the time as some people felt it was a monstrosity. I love it and love how it resembles a ship with its funnels.

Buffalo NY ~ Plymouth Methodist Church ~ Karpeles Manuscript Library ~ Organ Pipes by Bill Badzo

82 55

The Plymouth Methodist Church on Buffalo's Lower West Side, for a decade a focus of preservation concern, has been taken off the critical list by a combination of hard work and its residue, luck. But at the same time, some voices are being heard calling for the total or partial demolition of adjacent Grover Cleveland High School, the former State Normal School. Both buildings are on Porter Avenue, which, as part of Frederick Law Olmsted’s park system, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
