I have never seen a more beautiful library space. From the moment you step through the doors you are surrounded by rich woods, antiques, and the feeling of old world elegance.

This two story library is amazing.I attended a charity event here and the library lent the air of a movie to the festivities.The library is in the Mt Vernon area which has a park shaped like a cross.There are also other attractions in the immediate area.

This is one of the best architectural interiors in BAltimore...beautiful set up for a party and maybe even better if you just get to walk in when its empty.

Interior cast iron architecture is breathtaking. The extensive original collection, ironically was light on music, even though it was part of the world famous Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University.
