7 Stop 7 of 10 on Bodies, Bohemians & Basement Bars

Jefferson Market Library

A Preview

"Look at that building. Victorian Gothic — red brick, stained glass, a clock tower that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. In eighteen eighty-five, a poll of architects voted it the fifth most beautiful building in the United States. It's a public library now. Before that, it was a courthouse. And the things that happened in this courthouse are — considerably less beautiful. First — this site."
