Beautiful George Peabody Library in Maryland

The George Peabody Library

The George Peabody Library at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore is considered one of the most outstanding libraries in the world. It houses more than 300,000 rare and historical volumes, and therefore it is aptly named a "cathedral of books." Built-in 1878 under the direction of architect Edmund G. Lind, the five-story library contains decorative cast-iron balconies encompassing a 61-foot-high atrium that allows natural light daytime. The library design is breathtaking to behold with its rising from a black and white patterned marble floor to a vast glass lay light and ornate ceiling.
