Torchbearer in the
Library of
Congress
The concept of establishing a library
for the use of members of Congress
dates all the way back to 1800,
when it was decided to create a
library in the Capitol. The library
was destroyed when the Capitol was
set on fire by British troops, but
Thomas Jefferson donated his own
personal library as a replacement.
For nearly a century, the library did
not have a dedicated location.

Thomas Jefferson
Building (Library
of Congress)
In 1886, however, the first separate
Library of Congress building was
authorized. At that time, the then
Librarian of the Congress, Ainsworth
Rand Spofford, drew up plans and
presented them for approval.

The architects chosen for the task
were John L. Smithmeyer and Paul J.
Pelz who designed an impressive
Italian Renaissance building. The
two architects were later dismissed
and replaced with architect Edward
Pearce Casey and civil engineer
Bernard R. Green.

Columns in the
Library of
Congress
The new Library of Congress opened
in 1897. Its interior design was
based on the Paris Opera House and
was constructed of marble, granite,
iron, and bronze. It has many
classical characteristics, such as
Ionic columns and relief sculptures,
and features a large number of
statues.

In the main reading room, eight
large marble columns support 10-

figures, made of plaster and
representing commerce, history, art,
philosophy, poetry, religion, law and
science. In addition, another sixteen
bronze allegorical statues sit on the
balustrades of the galleries.

Court of Neptune
Fountain
The main entrance hall - known as
the Great Hall - is just as impressive.
It is decorated with beautiful
mosaics and murals. Monumental
marble staircases lead to a
colonnaded hall on the upper floor.

The reading room
In 1930, an Annex Building was
constructed on land directly east of
the main building. It is best
described as a classical building
with Art Deco details, typical of the
era during which it was built. It was
designed by Washington
architectural firm Pierson & Wilson,
with Alexander Buel Trowbridge as
consulting architect. It opened in
1939 and is now known as the
Adams Building. It can
accommodate some 10 million
volumes.

In the main
reading room
The most recent building in the
Library of Congress complex was
completed in 1981 and is dubbed
the Madison Building. At more than
2 million square-feet or about
186,000 square meter in size, it is
one of the three largest public
buildings in the District of Columbia.
It houses the library's administrative
offices, the Congressional Research
Service, the Law Library, the Office
of the Librarian, the Copyright
Office, and eight reading rooms.
