The architectural style, from plans by McKim, Mead & White, is classical based on Roman precedents but with many suggestions of Greek refinements in its details. Placed strategically on the brow of the hill at Morningside Heights, it holds a commanding position and is the focal point of the general campus layout. Built at an approximate cost of $750,000.00, it has an estimated capacity of 1,500,000 volumes." Postcard was never mailed.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library
