Donnelley Library - Exterior
Description
This is a view of the stairs and pathway along the east entry facade of Donnelley Library. The future Hotchkiss Hall can be seen in the background, after the 1891 Cobb-designed Gymnasium fire of 1969 (dormers missing, windows boarded up).
This view shows some of the Japanese garden influence on the Library exterior: the evergreens to catch and display snow artistically in winter, the Japanese influenced lamp, etc.
"The Donnelley Library was designed by Perkins & Will to be balanced, symmetrical, and imposing. Its boxy massing was enlivened with touches that rather incongruously suggested a Japanese tea house, including rocky landscaping where it was set into the undulating terrain, a wide veranda around the main floor, and a distinctive hipped roof" (Carolyn E. Lowry on Donnelley Library in "Lake Forest College: A Guide to the Campus," 2007, pp. 42-43).
