JEFFERSON MARKET LIBRARY
A small, quiet library in the Manhattan neighborhood with a Victorian neo-Gothic style
From the outside as well as the inside, this building is worth a visit. Built between 1877 and 1945, the place used to house a courthouse. Threatened with destruction in 1958, it was saved by the residents of the neighborhood and finally rehabilitated between 1961 and 1967 to become the library we know today. The building, built in a Victorian neo-Gothic style, is decorated with Venetian ornaments. A rather unknown branch of the New York Public Library, this neighborhood library is very quiet and counts among its regulars the actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
