Summary

Description
English: Built in 1931, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by William Gehron and Sydney Ross to house the State Library and State Law Library of Pennsylvania, as well as an auditorium and office space for the Pennsylvania state government. The building features a facade clad in granite with five floors above a partially raised basement, a partially rusticated base, square doric pilasters dividing the bays on either side of a central three-story recessed portico on the second, third, and fourth floors, with extruded columns and pilasters between each window bay on the exterior of the second, third, and fourth floors, an entrance with three doors on the north facade with decorative bronze doors, an architrave running around the top of the fourth floor with the names of famous and notable Pennsylvanians engraved on it, a cornice with dentils, a parapet that partially obscures the fifth floor, a low-slope metal hipped roof, and a semi-circular rear wing that houses an auditorium with a significant ceiling mural, with decorative relief panels above double entry doors in the wing’s windowless base, and a light court on the fourth and fifth floors above. The building is part of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The State Capitol Complex was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 2006, and saw a boundary increase in 2013 to include some previously omitted historic structures.
