This beautifully illustrated publication celebrates the first-ever
restoration of the exterior of J. Pierpont Morgan’s Library —
the historic heart of the Morgan Library & Museum. Morgan’s
Library has stood as a significant cultural landmark ever since it
was commissioned by J. Pierpont Morgan for personal use at the
start of the 20th century. Its transition to a public institution
in the twenties has lent to an even greater flood of admiration and
patronage, by both local and international audiences. The elegant
design by Charles Follen McKim stands as one of the finest examples
of neoclassical architecture in the United States, significant for
its distinctive Italian Renaissance style and its opulent interior
period rooms. The site has been designated both a National Historic
Landmark and a New York City landmark, and it is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. The book, following on the
heels of the completed restoration, will punctuate this latest
milestone in the building’s storied history.
