A section drawing cut along the central axis of the Enoch Pratt Free Library shows how the building's main spaces stack and line up from front to back, rather than how it looks from the street. The library was founded in Baltimore by the merchant Enoch Pratt as a free public library system, and its central building on Cathedral Street became the hub of that network. Architectural sections like this one were a standard way for designers and building committees to plan circulation, reading rooms, and stacks before construction, so the drawing reflects the institution's ambition to serve a broad public through a formal, carefully ordered plan.
