It's a private library (only 1049 ownership shares exist) founded in 1907, and this treasure-trove of books - including George Washington's library collection and authentic Confederate imprints - are just some of the treasures to explore. It's an ideal spot for musing and browsing. The nooks and crannies, including a charmingly hand-painted elevator, are of another era.
