  • LOW MEMORIAL LIBRARY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, North of the College Walk (West 116Th Street Between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue), Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 20, 1966, Number S LP-0304 LOW MEMORIAL LIBRARY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, north of the College Walk (West 116th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue), Borough of Manhattan. Begun 1895, completed 1897, architects McKim, Mead & White. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1973, Lot 1 in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On June 14, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Low Memorial Library, Columbia University and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 36). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. In a letter to the Commission, Grayson Kirk, President of Columbia University, said that the University was "happy to accept this designation." DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Low Memorial Library is a majestic building of truly monumental proportions. It is situated on a slight rise overlooking the south campus of Columbia University. This Roman stone building, designed in the form of a Greek cross, displays great classic grandeur. One of its chief features is an imposing Ionic portico (porch), consisting of ten superb fluted columns, supporting a simple cornice and high attic story, inscribed with references to the original King's College charter. An oct~gonal shaped drum, containing large semi-circular (lunette) windows, rises above the central portion of the building. Crowning the whole is a round low dome. Modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, the library building exhibits but little orna­ mental decoration and relies for its beauty on the strength of its pure classic form.
