In 1902 American financier Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) chose architect Charles Follen McKim (1847-1909) of the prominent firm McKim, Mead and White to design a library to house his growing collection of rare books and manuscripts. Adjacent to Morgan’s home, which stood on the corner of Madison Avenue and 36th Street, McKim created a majestic structure in a classical style based upon villas of the Italian Renaissance. The exterior is constructed of Tennessee pink marble, the blocks set with such precision that virtually no mortar was used. A simple recessed portico is flanked by a pair of stone lionesses. Completed in 1906, Mr. Morgan’s Library as it was called for many years?is the historic heart of today’s Morgan Library & Museum.
In 2010 the Morgan restored the interior of the 1906 library to its original grandeur.
The Morgan is located at 225 Madison Avenue at 37th Street.
