“A Handsome Box” – The Adams Building – Construction, architecture, and history of services in the John Adams Building at the Library of Congress, By Natalie Burclaff, Science, Technology & Business Division, Library of Congress.: “When the Library of Congress moved out of its space in the Capitol and into its own nearby building in 1897, it was estimated that the capacity of the Jefferson building would meet the needs of the Library for “a century and a half to come.” However, by the late 1920s, it was clear that we were running out of space! See and read the story of the construction, architecture, and history of services in the John Adams Building at the Library of Congress. The narrative is accompanied by historic photos, architectural drawings, and designs, and an excellent bibliography. Thank you Natalie.
