Architectural style

Don't be misled by the NRHP talk about about a Beaux Arts plan. It's a neoclassical building, as further text in the nomination (and pretty much everywhere else) states.

File:Low Library2.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Low Library2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 16, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-11-16. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 18:19, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Low Memorial Library rotunda of Columbia University, an Ivy League university in New York City, c. 1900–10. The building no longer serves as a library, having been converted to administrative purposes when it was supplanted by the larger Butler Library in 1934. However, the building's facade is still etched with the words "The Library of Columbia University," leading many to mistakenly believe that it retains its earlier role. The building was designed in the neoclassical style by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White, which was responsible for the design of much of the campus. It is registered as a National Historic Landmark.Photo: Detroit Publishing Co.; Restoration: Lise Broer

Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

A coordinate fix is needed for Low Memorial Library on Columbia's campus. If Google mapping is to be trusted, these are the coordinates for Uris Hall, slightly to the north and east.

FAC comments

@Lee Vilenski, sorry for forgetting to reply to your comments at this article's FAC. I appreciate your feedback very much, but I'd like to respond to your points anyway:

• Previously when you've used "facade" there's been an accent on the c - This article uses "facade" without a cedilla because, at least according to Merriam-Webster, "facade" is more spelled without the cedilla in American English.
• For a building called "memorial", I'd expect at least a glancing mention of what it is in memorial of. - That information is in the second paragraph of the article: Columbia University president Seth Low funded the building with $1 million and named the edifice in memory of his father, Abiel Abbot Low. I could move it up to the first paragraph if you think it fits better there.
• campus[5][6] in Manhattan, New York City.[1 - I know you are using these cites to show it's on the campus' location, but the cites can go at the end. - I have done this now.
