is the Boston Public Library ???

Is the Boston Public Library really designed and built in the neo-classical style? I hate to jump in and start slashing other folks work, but, I don't think that it is neo-classical. Carptrash 07:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

for the record, I'd be much happier with something along the lines of 'Renaissance Revival'. But then not everyone agrees that the point of the universe is to make me happy, so I'm tossing this out for a more general discussion.

Quite right. "Renaissance Revival" is the better style designation. The arcaded windows owe a debt to the side elevations of Alberti's Tempio Malatestiana, Rimini. --Wetman 18:10, 7 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Well, as Alberti himself would have said, "grazie." Carptrash 18:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Charles Follen McKim (August 24, 1847 – September 4, 1909) was an American Beaux-Arts architect of the late 19th century. Along with William Rutherford Mead and Stanford White, he was a member of the partnership McKim, Mead & White. The firm's New York City buildings include Manhattan's former Pennsylvania Station, the Brooklyn Museum, and the main campus of Columbia University. Elsewhere in New York state and New England, the firm designed colleges, libraries, schools, and other buildings, such as the Boston Public Library and the Rhode Island State House. In Washington, D.C., the firm renovated the West and East Wings of the White House, and designed Roosevelt Hall on Fort Lesley J. McNair, and the National Museum of American History.
