A little-known gem on Chicago’s South Side, Harper Memorial Library represented a major milestone for the University of Chicago when it was dedicated in 1912. With its elegant Gothic architecture and advanced technology—the building featured telephones and a system of pneumatic tubes to transmit book orders—the new library was, according to the Chicago Tribune, “the largest and most important building yet erected on the campus of the University of Chicago.”Architects Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, who had come to prominence for their work on the Art Institute of Chicago, designed the new building. The library took inspiration from King’s College Chapel at Cambridge, as well as Magdalen College and Christ Church College at Oxford. Today, it is a popular student study spot for students, especially those dreaming of attending Hogwarts. ✨
