There
are two bronze Griffins at each side of the entrance to Lillian H. Smith
Library, 239 College Street. They were built by Ludzer Vandermolen after
designs by the architect Phillip H. Carter (1995). Interestingly, there
are many smaller animals such as a monkey or lizard buried in the larger
lion and eagle. There’s also an owl
towards the west end of the building. The library holds special collections
on fantasy and children’s books. |
