Millmont Street's public library is the subject here, shown in a front elevation drawing rather than a photograph, so the viewer sees the building flat and square-on, with every doorway, window and cornice laid out at true scale. Architectural elevations like this were the working documents of a building project, used by builders and clients to settle proportions and details before construction began. Public libraries of this era were often designed to stand as civic landmarks, with formal facades meant to signal learning and public access. Looking closely at the symmetry and ornament can reveal how the architect expressed those ideals in stone and brick.
