Schwarzman Building, is a Beaux-Arts masterpiece and home to the famous Rose Main Reading Room—a must-see for architecture lovers and bookworms alike. Opened in 1911, this marble marvel once held the title of America’s largest marble building. The reading room, located on the 3rd floor, enchants visitors with its soaring ceilings, chandeliers, and rows of oak tables. Free public viewing is allowed Monday to Saturday, 10–11 AM, or you can join a quick 15-minute guided tour. Step in for a moment of calm and inspiration amidst Midtown’s rush. #nypl #rosemainreadingroom #newyorklibrary #nyclandmarks #quietescape #myitinerary
