The Pioneer Press article notes that the glass on the south side of the library will be opaque. I think that thick/double or triple paned glass is pretty energy efficient. I like the new design and hope that archival and energy issues can be resolved.
I did a search to get the old library building photos to show up. I tried using Richard Carney's link but got timed out message. Here are some of the images. http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresources Minneapolis Public Library, Tenth and Hennepin, Minneapolis. Photograph Collection ca. 1905 Location no.
