Review:

The cavernous and beautiful George Peabody Library is sometimes referred to as being a “cathedral of books.” The library was constructed back in the year 1878 by the request of George Peabody, a well-known philanthropist and founder of the Peabody Institute. It was originally built to be part of a culture and arts institute, the first music conservatory in America. The library of George Peabody is still available to everyone today, just like the original intention of Peabody. Much of the library’s collection dates back to the latter part of the nineteenth century, ranging from literature to science to archaeology.
