Billings Library, Romanesque library at University of Vermont in Burlington, United States.
The substantial stone building features a colonnade of symmetrical columns and large arched windows across its main facade on University Place.
Henry Hobson Richardson designed this educational structure in 1883, following similar architectural principles he applied to the Winn Library in Massachusetts.
The building shifted from its original function as a library to become a student center in 1963, reflecting the changing needs of university education.
Located at 48 University Place, the structure now contains the Cook Commons dining hall and remains an active part of the university campus.
The interior retains its original 1895 layout with distinctive spaces like The Apse and Book Room, preserving the nineteenth-century academic environment.
