This classically inspired building is a private reading library for postgraduate students. It was originally designed by Sir Thomas Manly Deane (1851–1933), son of Thomas Deane (who designed both the National Library and original National Museum buildings), but was completed by Richard Orpen (1863–1938) – brother of well-known artist William – in 1937.
