Légende

The new City Corporation Library, Guildhall, 1872. 'The opening of the new building at Guildhall, for the Public Library and Museum of the Corporation of London, was recorded last week, and we gave a view of the interior, with a description of the whole building. It is therefore unnecessary to say much about it on the present occasion, in reference to the Engraving, which shows the exterior, fronting Basinghall-street. The building is a handsome one, and does much credit to Mr. Horace Jones, the City Corporation architect. Its cost has been about £60,000, in addition to the site, which is valued at £40,000. The museum is on the ground floor; the library is above the museum'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
