George Peabody Library, Baltimore
Como indica en la cita, la catedral de los libros fue construida por el filántropo George Peabody, se planeaba que fuera abierta al público en 1860, pero debido a la guerra se retrasó su construcción. Integran la colección unos 300.000 volúmenes que abarcan desde la religión al arte pasando por topografía, lenguas o viajes.The historic Peabody Conservatory of Music's library has been described as a "cathedral of books," and it's not hard to see why. The space was designed with a huge open air atrium at its core, and each level of the library overlooks the central space. It's outfitted in ornate railings and patterned marble floors, and naturally lit in the daytime by a criss-crossed skylight six floors above the hall. Built in 1878 at the behest of philanthropist George Peabody, the library was originally part of an arts and culture institute–America’s first music conservatory–that he created to be available to the people of his beloved Baltimore.
