Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The George Peabody Library, in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Formerly the Library of the Peabody Institute of the City of Baltimore, the George Peabody Library dates from the founding of the Peabody Institute in 1857. In that year, George Peabody, a Massachusetts-born philanthropist, dedicated the Peabody Institute to the citizens of Baltimore in appreciation of their "kindness and hospitality." The Peabody Library building, which opened in 1878, was designed by Baltimore architect Edmund G. Lind, in collaboration with the first provost, Dr. Nathaniel H. Morison. Renowned for its striking architectural interior, the Peabody Stack Room contains five tiers of ornamental cast-iron balconies, which rise dramatically to the skylight 61 feet (19 m) above the floor. The ironwork was fabricated by the Bartlett-Robbins Company. The George Peabody Library is part of Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries.
