| Description | Lehigh University's first library, constructed at the cost of $100,000 by Asa Packer as a memorial to his daughter, Lucy Packer Linderman. "It is built of several varieties of stone, tastefully contrasted, and is semi-circular in form, with an effective façade in the Venetian style of architecture, with polished granite columns and surmounted with bold battlements. It is fire-proof and calculated to hold 150,000 volumes. There are, at present, about 93,000 bound volumes and a large number of pamphlets upon the shelves, with 250 periodicals embracing many departments of knowledge. Ample provision is made for the accommodation of readers upon the main floor, and students in advanced classes are allowed to consult the books in the alcoves." Edmund M. Hyde, The Lehigh University, a Historical Sketch, 1896. |
