Cooper Library in Johnson Park
Cooper Library in Johnson Park, National Register of Historic Places library in Camden, US
Cooper Library features a Classical Revival design with symmetrical architecture, large columns, and a grand entrance facing Johnson Park in Camden.
The library was constructed in 1916 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its significance in architecture and education.
The building's front displays a seventy-foot mosaic frieze titled America Receiving the Gifts of Nations, containing 100,000 pieces of colored glass.
The facility now functions as a Digital Studies Center and Writing and Design Lab under the management of Rutgers University Camden.
Eldridge Johnson, founder of Victor Talking Machine Company, commissioned D'Ascenzo Studios to create both the library's frieze and the Nipper window.
