The New Library BuiIdin9

The library building given by Mrs.
Pope of Chicago to the Ladies Library
Association is now completed and fur
nished. 1t is a memorial to Charles
Pope, a native of Danville, who went
West several years ago and was engaged
in business in Chicago. The building is a
handsome structure of wood and situa-
ted on the most attractive spot on Dan
vile Green-the corner lot next to the
Caledonia bank, overlooking the COM
mon. The style is that of the colonial
period, the finish on the outside and the
chimney being much in the Massachu-
setts colonial fashion of one hundred and
fifty years ago. The interior is made up
of the bOok-roOm, the librarians office
and the reading room, all so arranged
that a large parlor can be made out of
them for use in receptions or sociables.
In the reading room are ten large Win
dows and an open fireplace; there are
six sets of book shelves finished in
antique oak, and everything is planned
in such a way that the books will occupy
a conspicuous place and be easy of access.
The finish is in cream white and the walls
and ceiling are tinted in harmonious col
ors. The fresco work is very fine. The
floors are covered with Brussels carpet
and the furnishings throughout CORES
pond with the rest of the building. The
association has purchased a piano. The
heating is by hot air furnace. The peo-
pie of Danvile hope that there will be
public dedication OF the new library.
