Description An account of the resource The George Peabody Library is located in Baltimore, Maryland, and is part of the Johns Hopkins University campus. The Neo-Greek structure stands five floors high. The exterior of the building is primarily composed of granite and limestone, which has been weathered over the last 147 years by Maryland’s subtropical climate. Some areas of the exterior stone and roof are lightly coated with moss and dirt. At the building’s entrance, one will find a large, arched wooden door flanked by Doric columns. A stone inscription that reads “Peabody Institute” is carved into the balcony that hangs above the main entranceway. Two levels of narrow arched and rectangular glass windows also cover the exterior of the building. The most striking feature of the interior of the building is its five floors of cast iron balconies filled with 300,000 volumes. A massive glass skylight at the center of the atrium illuminates the space in the daytime. Both the columns supporting the balconies and the balconies themselves are embellished with gold leaf. Alternating slabs of black and white marble, nearly resembling city blocks when viewed from above, comprise the floor of the atrium. Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.
