|
The Newberry Library, which was completed in 1892, is a private research library open to the public. Designed by Henry Ives Cobb, the building faces Walton Street and Washington Square Park, occupying the entire block between Dearborn and Clark Streets. It was constructed on the site of the mansion of Mahlon D. Ogden, one of the very few buildings in the path of the Great Fire that survived.
