Although this McKim, Mead, & White-designed building went up in 1895, the Boston Public Library was actually founded in 1848 and is the oldest publicly funded library in the country. The interior’s Greco-Roman style cues lavish use of marble, and John Singer Sargent’s powerful Judaism and Christianity mural sequence clearly illustrates how valued public education was when the library was constructed. Guided tours offer insight into the building’s architecture and history.
