Redpath Library, University library at McGill campus, Montreal, Canada

Redpath Hall is the 1893 Romanesque reading room of McGill's first dedicated library, designed by Andrew Taylor of Edinburgh at 3461 McTavish Street. Its roof carries gargoyles and figures, two of them representing Peter Redpath and Taylor. Since 1986 the Schulich School of Music has run it as a concert hall holding a Hellmuth Wolff French Classical organ donated in 1981.

Redpath Hall opened in 1893 as McGill's first dedicated library building, donated by Peter Redpath, who also founded the Redpath Museum. It was designed in Romanesque style by Andrew Taylor of Edinburgh. The library stacks were expanded in 1900–01 by Taylor at the request of Redpath's wife, Grace, and again in 1921 by Percy Erskine Nobbs and George Taylor Hyde. A 1952 south extension by McDougall, Fleming and Smith ended its use as the library reading room.

Redpath Hall is run by the Schulich School of Music and serves as a concert venue; its French Classical pipe organ was built by Hellmuth Wolff and donated in 1981. The hall also displays a large part of McGill's portrait collection, cared for by the McGill Visual Arts Collection.

The building is easy to navigate with its stone staircase construction and multiple entrances, though parking near the campus is limited. Visitors should allow time to explore both the architecture and the specialized collections housed within.

The 1893 building was designed by Andrew Taylor of Edinburgh in the Romanesque style, with gargoyles and other carved figures on the roof; two of them represent Peter Redpath and Taylor himself. Look up at the roofline to find them.
