Gore Hall was the first building erected expressly as a library at Harvard College, and this view shows it in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before its later replacement. Completed in 1841 and named for Christopher Gore, a former Harvard overseer and Massachusetts governor, the granite structure housed the college's growing collection of books. Its cramped interior and the crowding of the collections soon became a source of complaint, and the building was eventually demolished to make way for Widener Library, which opened in 1915. The old hall is remembered as an early example of a dedicated American academic library.
