Description
Colorized photo from 1895
Original title: Interior view of the 1217-1221 Chestnut Street Branch
Photographer: Unknown
Location: 1217-1221 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA
This was one of the four locations that the Free library of Philadelphia moved into. Elegant, but described as make shift and unsanitary.
I'm not sure what that floor is, to me it looks like it should be glass, to let light in downstairs, but I can't imagine that's right. And it would be slippery, so I made it slate, pretty sure those things are radiators, not sure if they used the top as something or not. There are these boxes at the base, front and back, I have no idea what those are for.
