The old Chicago Public library is a buidling of renowned beauty. Now no longer used as the library it has become the Chicago Cultural center. Inside it lays "hidden jewels"...such as, the Preston Bradley Hall..
A large, ornately patterned room of Carrara marble . The centerpiece is a 38-foot Tiffany glass dome designed by artist J. A. Holtzer. Inside the tiffany dome is inscribed the words..
"Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn.. - Addison"
The hanging lamp in the center is also of Tiffany design.The Cultural Center states this to be the largest Tiffany dome in the world, with an estimated value of $35 million..the walls are covered with tiny glass mosaic tiles that glitter in the light. It is as fine as many old European castles and breath takingly beautiful.
