This is the doorway to the Hamilton Grange Branch of the NY Public Library. The building was designed by McKim, Mead & White, opened in 1907, and designated a landmark in 1970. Inside, it's up to date with all the stuff they’ve put in libraries since I last used one. I should get a library card.

Here's a photograph of the façade, but it doesn't give you an impression of the weightiness of the building. For that, take a look at the small ugly photo on this web page.
