AIKEN ADDITION

1908

In 1908, a donation from Albert Crane made possible the erection of an ell, designed by William Aiken.

The ell increased the reading and book rack space and provided a children's room in the basement.

The stained glass windows at the rear of the ell were formerly at the end of the original reading room but were moved to permit more light in the room. Most of the windows represent bookplates. These are not LaFarge windows.
