About this space:
The original library building was constructed in the 1930s in the Spanish Colonial Revival style and designed by architect Temple Buell. The building was added to the Colorado Historical Society's State Register of Historical Properties in 1993. Originally, the library was "closed stacks", meaning library materials were stored in the basement and could be obtained by submitting a request to the librarian. Now, this space serves as quiet study space. The West Wing is also affectionately known as the "Harry Potter Room", due to its resemblance to the large hall in Hogwarts. We have many historical photographs of the library building included in our Digital Archive.
