The Library of Congress Annex, the building that later became the Jefferson Building, rose on the east side of the Capitol grounds to relieve a main library that had outgrown its quarters. Congress authorized the structure in 1886, and it opened to readers in 1897, a Beaux-Arts landmark whose marble halls, mosaics and sculpture were meant to show the nation's ambition in learning. Its construction followed years of debate over where the country's books should live, and the building still anchors the complex that stands today.
