HAMPSTEAD PUBLIC LIBRARY
217
library, which is 50 by 30 feet, is reached from the central hall, and stairs lead down to a well-lit room in the basement of the same size, at present to be used for the lending library, but in the future as a storeroom for reference books.
The architect, Mr. Arnold S. Tayler, estimates the cost of the building without furniture at £5000, and the contract for building has been let on those terms.
