Jefferson Market Library

Originally a courthouse (with a jail!) from late 1800s. While it looks like a gothic church, you’ll notice the details are non religious. Beautiful spaces for study inside. Particular soft spot as my child spends hours here each week.

“amazing public library with study space and stained glass windows ❤️‍🔥⭐️ open til 8pm. there are gallery exhibitions in the basement. the grounds used to be the NYC Women’s House of Detention, which was torn down in the 1970’s and it is now a New York Public Library branch location with a community garden on the same lot.”
