Midtown, New York

🏛️"one of several oldies on this block that are a joy to look at"
🚪Not a public library, entry is restricted
👶Strollers may not be allowed inside

One of the city's oldest technical societies, devoted to the history and craft of the building trades. Housed in a landmarked building worth a look on its own, it hosts lectures and offers low-cost training to working tradespeople. Note: reviewers warn it's not a public library, and access can be restrictive.
