Moro, Oregon SIT E u l Second Street LIBRARY for congress was an un questioned necessity. Consequent* ly, the congressional library was found ed about the same time the government was first established, or In 1800. It was entirely destroyed by tire to the war of 1812 and also suffered serious ly from fire at .a later dute. So, con- ess authorised the construction of a building that could not be burned. Result, the present structure, com pleted In 1807, said to be the most perfectly adapted for the ..convenleat use and storage of books of any large library In the world, likewise the larg est, costliest and safest. It consists of three stories, a base ment and a dome, covers almost three and one-half acres and has a total floor space of about eight acres. You can better grasp the magnitude of this building, when I tell you that It contains 22.000.000 brlck^to su y noth Ing of the other materials, and 'has 00,200 shelves with a total length df about forty miles. » It new houses considerably more than op£ million, books and pnrnph lets, which Is the largest slnele collec tlon on the western hemisphere. Its estimated total capacity Is about ,1.- 900,800 publications. Its more than 2,000 windows render it the best light ed library In the world. The colorings of the reading room are soft, quiet, rich and warm, being conducive to the greatest comfort. The walls carry many helpful and in spiring Inscriptions, its conspicuous betuty or charm, however, Is In the wonderful mural decorative scheme. It being, unquestionably, thé roost gor geously decorated public building-in America.
