The Enoch Pratt Free Library of Baltimore City : Letters and Documents Relating to Its Foundation and Organization with the Dedicatory Addresses and Exercises, January 4, 1886 (Classic Reprint) by Unknown Author (2015, Trade Paperback)
Excerpt from The Enoch Pratt Free Library of Baltimore City: Letters and Documents Relating to Its Foundation and Organization With the Dedicatory Addresses and Exercises, January 4, 1886 I have for some years contemplated establishing a Free Circulating Library, for the benefit of our whole City, and in pursuance of this plan I have entered into a contract to erect a fireproof building on my Mulberry street lot, capable of holding 200,000 volumes - my purpose being to have branches connected with it in the four quarters of the City, under the same management. The excavation for the foundation has been commenced, and the building will be well advanced this year, and completed in the summer of 1883. It will cost, when ready for occupancy, about two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($225,000), and upon its completion I propose to deed it to the City.
