the building of the Boston public IL
brary was celebrated as the most beau

sidered as one OF the first monuments
to the modern library movement in this
country. 1t was opened to the public
in 1895 and combines most of the
features of modern library require
ments. Architecturally the building is
modelled largely after the BibliOtheque
Sainte GeneTieve of Paris. Its decOra-
lions are chiefly the work of we'll
known American artists The Quest OF
the Holy Grail by Abbey and the Tri-
umph Of Religion by Sergeant. this
last including the Well-knoWn freize
Of the prophets, have been widely
copied.
Over the main stairway are mural
decorations by Puvis de ChaTan-

Among its special architectural feat
ures are the grand staircase, the IN
terror court with stone benches and
fountain, and the reading room known
as Bates hall, which has been pro-
nounced the most beautiful public
room in America While the building
as first planned is not well adapted
for library purposes, the Boston public

architects was sent abroad in quest Of
new ideas IN library architecture. The
building is simple. but imposing in It's
structure. The cost OF the building
was $4,000, 900 and its total floor space
is equivalent to six acres. The book
