1. The Botanical Museum 
The Museum Building has a frontage of 312 feet, and in 
so far as now constructed, a depth of about 90 feet; the plan 
of this building contemplates its future extension toward 
the rear, so as to form a quadrangle enclosing acourt. The 
architectural style of the building is Italian Renaissance. 
The walls are of light-colored brick and the trimmings of 
terra-cotta. It has a steel frame and concrete floors. 
Three floors are devoted to public exhibits, while the 
upper floor contains study rooms, the library, labora- 
tories and herbarium, which may be used and consulted by 
permission. 
The building is approached by two straight driveways 
and accompanying sidewalks leading from the main park 
driveway near the New York Central Railroad station; 
this front approach to the building is ornamented by a 
bronze fountain executed by the sculptor Carl E. Tefft, 
and by terra-cotta fountains and marble seats designed by 
R. W. Gibson, the architect of the building. The lofty 
steel flag-poles were donated by Mr. Edward D. Adams. 
The vista lines are formed by four parallel rows of tulip- 
trees. 
The public collections in this building are:
