this is our room where our archivist, laura pole, works x. she has pulled out for me two of the original collection, the two that we can actually locate, that were miraculously saved because they missed the fire of 1776 when the hessianses and the british came through during the battle of trenton k can they burnt down the originally library. these two were actually in the homes of trenton residents, and after the newspaper had put out a request for individuals who had think of the original collection to return, they were able to salvage at least these two. we know that there are rumored to be numerous other copies of the original from ben franklin, from his donation. however, the library is going through an inventory, and we hope to be able to find as many of them as possible. this building was rebuilt in june of 1900, is when the groundbreaking began. and we didn't officially open until june 9, 1902. in 1976 the new adecision was built, and -- addition was better -- was built. this beautiful marble staircase begins, of course, in our atrium,
