"Hadley's Folly...Rising costs of Keeping T-H-E W-I-N-G Snow-free
Shuts down rest of Minneapolis Libraries!
WM: Don't blame it on Hadley. This happened long before she was on
board. By referendum. We did it, not she.
A cement wing that never will fly. How excessive and ridiculous!
WM: In the 19th Century and early 20th, libraries had pillars, carved
stone, big, gorgeous windows, statuary, marble in some cases, and other
fillips and curlicues that deemed a library a "handsome building."
Whether you agree with this architect's aesthetic or not, any public
central library building, to be considered "fitting," will have
something designed to make it outstanding among other buildings. We do
owe it to ourselves to have a library that is more than plain as a mud
fence.
