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 a court. 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:
