The exterior is exclusively of white
marble. Very little Ct anything else mas
been used inside or out. although colored
marbles. both native and foreign, soft lime
stone and woodwork have been freely en-
ploved as decorative accessories. The
library stands 800 feet long on the Fifth
avenue side and go feet deep. Omitting the
two interior courtyards. carved out OF the
main block for light and air, it covers
superficial area of ll5,oo0 square feet ana
