Walls of Vermont Marble.


Walls of Vermont Marble.

the materials to be used, 1t was decided
that the main wall should be of Vermont
marble, the granite foundations to be of
Bay State stone. The iron used in the
building has been furnished by the Car
negie Iron Company, and its manufacture
caused a delay of several weeks in the
erection of the house.
The city of Washington donated to the
Carnegie Library that beautiful park
which surrounds it. 1t is understood that
when the library building is finished the
approaches thereto will be most artistic
and ornate from the point of view Of the

short shrubbery, which will permit Of
a bold relief view of the structure from
