"I often drove along Commonwealth Ave. and was always intrigued by the beautiful towers that adorn this building. Today, I finally decided to stop and capture photo and video content of this local landmark."
"One of the dream libraries where we want to study"
"An amazing old building with beautiful construction. The smooth marble main staircase leads to a wonderfully tiled foyer and another double marble staircase leading up to the 4th floor. The acoustics in the foyer and double staircase are extraordinary. The columns in the main floor support a beautifully painted ceiling with well crafted/carved woodwork framing. The stained glass windows, which extend up through the 4th floor are breathtaking. The main room of the 4th floor is the piece that finishes the puzzle. The vaulted ceiling makes this room cavernous. This is the ideal building for wedding pictures, chamber music or a quiet read."
"Gargan Hall (second floor) is a great place to study. Bapst is superior to O'neill with respect to providing a quiet space to concentrate and study."
"Gorgeous library. Second floor looks like Hogwarts"
