As a library, the doors to the surrounding bedrooms would be closed, creating walls for the library and giving the person using this space privacy. Due to James Gallier, Jr.'s design, traffic, light and air could still flow on the second floor. Traffic would flow through a set of doors, which connected all of the rooms to each other.
The double skylight in the library could be opened to create a flow of air up the main staircase, ensuring continued air movement in the library. The skylight also provided light to this space. |
