Structure centenaire d’inspiration italienne avec des portes en bronze et de grands escaliers en marbre, la Boston Public Library fut la première bibliothèque municipale gratuite de la nation. Le premier bâtiment de la bibliothèque sur Mason Street était autrefois une école, qui ouvrit ses portes en 1854. Ayant reçu une autorisation officielle, les dirigeants de l’époque ont fait construire un nouveau bâtiment pour la bibliothèque sur Boylston Street. Ainsi, le site de Copley Square accueillit la bibliothèque en 1895. Étendant le site de Copley Square en 1972, le bâtiment McKim fut alors construit. Dans ce monument historique national, vous trouverez des collections de cartes et d’impressions, des livres et manuscrits rares ainsi qu’une série de fresques raffinées. La Boston Public Library propose des visites quotidiennes présentant les bâtiments centraux de la bibliothèque et les œuvres d’art d’artistes prolifiques d’une époque révolue.
