MR. PAUL J. Pelz designed the principal lines of the interior of the Dome, including the marble work of the Rotunda. In 1892 Mr. EDWARD PEARCE Casey, of New York, was employed as architect, and adviser and supervisor in matters of art. Mr. Casey planned the general scheme of interior decoration and elaborated its details, and supervised the execution of the work to its successful completion. Thus the mantels in the Representatives' room, mantel and oak door-head in the Senate room, the rotunda frieze and stucco work and other ornamental sculpture, not otherwise noted, are from Mr. Casey's designs. Mr. E. E.. Garnsey designed the color schemes throughout,

HARV COLLEGE LIBRARY

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.

T

HE need of a separate building for the Library of Congress

was first urged by Mr. Ainsworth R. Spofford, in his
Librarian's Report for 1872. In 1886 an appropriation

was made for the purchase of the site, which is a plot of ten acres, including three city blocks, on the plateau southeast of the Capitol. The grounds and the seventy residences upon them cost $585,000. The foundations were laid in 1888, and the build- Cost ing was begun in 1889, and was completed in the spring of 1897. The net cost of the building, exclusive of site, was $6,032,124.54.

The original architectural plans were prepared by the firm of Smithmeyer & Pelz. These were subsequently modified in various details by those of Edward Pearce Casey. The original act of Congress of 1886 provided for a commission to have charge of the work. In 1888 the commission was succeeded in the management by Brig.-Gen. Thos. Lincoln Casey, Chief of Engineers of the Army; the active superintendence being intrusted to Mr. Bernard R. Green. Upon General Casey's death in March, 1896, Mr. Green was, by joint resolution of Congress, appointed as his successor.

The memorial arch in the Entrance Pavilion bears the record :

The Library grounds adjoin those of the Capitol. The building faces west upon First street, and the outer walls have a frontage upon four streets (First, East Capitol, Second and B streets); this, with the spacious courts and the great number of windows (nearly 2,000), renders it the best-lighted library in the world.

The building is of the Italian Renaissance order of architecture; it has three stories, with a dome; and is in area 470 X 340-ft., cov
