Library - A literary classic 1905 Jigsaw Puzzle

Colorized photo from 1900 Original Title: Riggs Library Location: Georgetown University, Washington DC This is Riggs Library, built in 1877, and served as a library from 1891 to 1970. This library still exists today and is one of the few libraries made of cast iron to survive. The building was built to replace another library where they ran out of space. However this library too also ran out of space and another library had to be built to accommodate all the extra books. Today this building still functions as a book storage facility, but not really as a library. It's more of a convention centre now. It looks pretty much the same as it did a 100 years ago, only it has updated lighting.
