The Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore is the subject here, shown through its first-floor plan as drawn in 1933. Opened in 1886 with money left by the merchant Enoch Pratt, it was among the first large public libraries in the United States to serve the general public without charge. A floor plan like this one records how the building's rooms, reading areas and circulation desks were arranged, which makes it a useful document for anyone studying how library design changed between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
