Gould Memorial Library, Neoclassical library building at Bronx Community College, US
The Gould Memorial Library features a copper dome, three levels of stacks, Corinthian columns, and Tiffany glass windows within its rectangular structure.
Railroad magnate Jay Gould's daughter Helen Miller Shepard funded the library's construction with a $200,000 donation in 1895 for New York University's campus.
The building earned recognition as a New York City landmark in 1966 and gained listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The structure now functions as an event space rather than a library, following its transfer from New York University to the City University of New York in 1973.
The United States Postal Service acknowledged the architectural significance of the building by featuring it on a postage stamp.
