Coby BY JOUARE PETROIT By: Franklin H. Wentworth, Copley Square | 1s there one among the hundreds of thousands of western boys and girls- who owe to the city of Boston. anything in the way of a completion of their education whose heart does not beat quicker at the name ? Js there any of us who have tramped Europe and come home with a curious indigestion, who, giter the mind fag is over, cannot come into Copley Square "and receive a new in- spiraticn ? Surely, one must go far in Europe to find .a square which breathes such Harmony. It is as sat- islying to the art sense as'~.a single picture by a t master. No matter the direction from which ene enters it, not a jarring note mars the bar mony, How can a period which gives to New York so hideous a monstrosity as thy "figt iron" gives to its neigh- bor city Copley Square ? . Architecttive breathes unconscious ly the spirit of the purpose by which It is created. The "Hat iron" was built to get the greatest number of dollars out of the least possible ground apace. Because. in Copley Square not 'one of buildings is touch® by commercial taint, it carries one back to. the days when men built as they loved and Toved as they built: Copley Square buildings were all con- ceived for the gervice of some sort of ideal, Had but one of them been created for a oaipful purpose, Copley Square must have been irretrievably marred. The Boston library, with its noble ond majestic lines, looms into view on the west side of the syuare, like a great ebic poem cut into enduring stone, the asniratiop of a free people. His not the gift of a "tainted ne ney" baron, but "Built hy the peo- Me and dedicated to the pdvancement of arning." Boston public library "wae fornded in 1859, ond the iden was so attractive to the people that by 1890 the old huilding "in Boylston street, than 300,000 volumes, It was strained |ings, and skill in héndling propor- to bursting, and the trustees were in constant dread of loss hy fire owing to the character of the surrounding buildings. It was the state iteelf that came to the rescue. The common- wealth of Massachusetts presented the Dartmouth street, site, facing down Copley Square, and the city added something to it by purchase. The lib- erality of thé state is tactfully and beautifully acknowledged by the in seription along the Boylston street facade, which .reads : "Ihe common wealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty." Although the site was given in 1880 the present building was not begun until 1888. Ft chows its long foreground. No beautiful thing is either conceived or hrought forth in a hurry. The study of plens was "long and thorough by men who were de- voted to the idea, and the architects were at last selected--the New York firm of McKim, Mead & White, Charles F. McKim was © the actual architect, designing the building from cellar to rooftree. 4 Probably no one ever rose to any kind of eminence, either in literature or in art, whom some envious person was not ready to accuse of plagiarism. Rudyard Kipling's clever response to the usual charge of plagiarism should stand for all time and shdme out of countenance ths carping critics of no ble 'performances ' "When ° e his bloomin' lyre, biog ton land and sea, And, what 'e the' to might require, = 'FB went dnd took--the same as me It has been intimated that the fa. cade of the Boston library -is a copy of the Bibleotheque Ste, (ienevieve, at Paris. That the buildings belong to the same type is unquestionable, but in their proportions and details---the essence of architecture--thev are ah- solutely . different. The * library in Paris has nineteen arches upon its front instead of thirteen, which fact alone would completely change the re- tions ig the highest attribute of good architecture. The Ste. Genevieve has no molded, course at the sills of the first storey windows, has arched heads to those windows instead of square; has one entrance archway only, and no platform. But besides this it is absolutely different in individual char- acter. They are of a developed or- ganized type, but so far as similarity is conterned one might as well say that all churches are alike because they are equipped with spires. = The single detail of the main doorway shows the assertion of an American | idea of space and expansion, however influenced by the older model. The Boston Library design originally fol- lowed the Paris example in that it had only one entrance door. This was considered a mistake, as inudenuately indicating the public character of the building, and after much study the three equal arches were adopted. They contribute dignity and an impression of amplitude to the entrance which the one door does not produce. S80 perfect are the proportions of the byilding one is loath ta believe that its height from the sidewalk to the top of the cornice is seventy feet, The material used is granite, quarried at Milford Mass. grayish---white to the first glance of the eve, but more elose- lv. especially in certain lights, densely tinged with a delicate pink. The plavform extends entirely round three facades of the building. Flse where three stops high. the platform rises six steps in front of the main entrance. At the two comnors of this six-step flight are two latge pedestals, now vacant, but for which Augustos 8t. Gawdens, the eminent New York setilptor, is at work pon two groups of bronze statuary. The desion o' these groupe is not vet definitely sct tled, but it is probable that they will be disposed in the following manner : On one side. a single male figure re. presenting Jaw, flanked by two fe male fignres representing power and lative proportions of the two build opposite {le Common, contained more } A oR E NEW OL pc3ouTH CHUGH COPLEY JOQUARE ETOTO P= BIE CUT FALTGL CL ure representing labor, flanked by two female figutes representing art science.

" The 'church is a Greek cross with a semi-circular apse added to the east ern arm. Its style of architecture is a free rendering of the French Rom- anesque, inclining particularly to the school that flourished in the eleventh century in"Central Franve--the ancient Aquitaine--which, secure politically on the one hand from the Norman pirates and oh the other from the Moorish invasions, as well as architecturally emancipated classical traditions and examples which still ruled the southern provine- es, developed, in various forms, a system' of architecture of its own, dif- fering from the elassical manner in that while it studied elegance it was also constructional and differing from the su ing. Gothio, in that, al- . though constructional, it could sacri- fice, .womething of mechanical dexteri- ty 'for the sake of grandeur and re pose. The central power--a reminiscence perhaps of the domes of Venice and Constantinople--~was in Auvergne fully developed; so, that in many cases the tower became, as it were, the church, and the composifion took the outline of the pyramid: the pase, transepts, solar system." To the left is the seal of Massachusotts with its familiar 1n-' dian and motto. Opposite, on the east side of = the square, facing the library, is Trinity, the ehurch of Phillips Brooks. It is the masterpieco of the late H. H. Rich- avdson, the hest known of American architects. The corner-stone of this edifice was laid hy Phillips Brooks with appropri- ate ecremonies on May 10th, 1875. Copley ~ Square is practically all "made land." It was originally little more than a salt 'marsh of the Back church, the towen of which alone weighs nearly 19,000,000 pounds, in- troduced "a foundation problem of some significance. It" was found by testing that a compact * sthatuni was overlaid with a quantity of alluvium upon which a mass © of gravel some thirty feet deep had been filled in. To provide for the support o5 the church required the driving "of, 4,500 piles, over, 2000 of which were placed un- der the pyramids which make the base of the piers. These pyramids, solid granite, are thirty-five feet square at the boage, seven feet at the top and | seventeen feet high. Prom them rise the four great piers so conspicuous in the edifice. The store din the nave and chapels forming. only the base to the obelisk of the tower. It is this effect. that has been secured * jn the architecture of Trinity; the great tower broods over the whole strue- ture, giving it a repose, a dignity, withal a barmony - which well across thie square, ~ : The south side of the square, the beautiful facade of the Boston Mu- seum of Fine Arts, different from its sister buaildings above described.
