We’ve wondered about this for a while – what’s up with the tiny doors and micro balconies on the back facade of the New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman building at Bryant Park? With such a monumental building, the architectural elements seem almost like an anomaly or an after thought, especially contrasted with the massive arched windows of the Rose Reading Room.
We first noticed them scoping out photography spots for the 2013 Dîner en Blanc, which took pace in Bryant Park. Since then we’ve been curious about how to get in there or what’s inside. We got our answer today, exploring the library, at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the recent renovation.
