bungalow erected in 1919 as an employees' break area. The fountain was destroyed in 1950 and replaced with a parking lot, and the bungalow was taken apart in 1998. A six-story glass structure was erected on the site of the South Court, opening in 2002. The current structure measures and is connected to the rest of the library building via glass bridges. Below the South Court structure is a 174-seat auditorium, accessed via a glass staircase cut into the original basement. The first story contains the Bartos Education Center, with two classrooms and an orientation theater. The second through fourth floors contain offices, and the fourth floor also contains a quiet room and staff lounge. Bryant Park elevation The west side, which faces Bryant Park, contains narrow vertical windows that illuminate the stacks inside the Main Branch. The narrow windows allow light to enter the stacks below the third-floor Rose Main Reading Room. Above the tall windows, near the top of the facade, are nine large arched windows that illuminate the reading room itself. The presence of the narrow windows may have been intended to evoke the appearance of a flat colonnade. Next to the center of the facade is a statue of William Cullen Bryant, sculpted by Herbert Adams; the statue is placed on a plinth and sheltered by a half-dome supported by Doric columns. Near the top of the facade are eight doorways with pediments, which were part of the original design. Although NYPL staff were unable to ascertain why these doorways were built, they may have been built in anticipation of an unbuilt expansion of the stacks toward Bryant Park. There is a projecting cornice and a hip roof above the center section of the stacks and reading room. The northern and southern ends of the Bryant Park elevation both contain pavilions, similar to those on Fifth Avenue. Interior The interior of the Main Branch consists of four publicly accessible floors: the ground level and the first through third floors. There is a corridor along the eastern side of each floor, which runs the length of the building from north to south. The building also contains two light courts, measuring three by three bays wide, which separate each floor into four-bay-wide sections to the west and east. Originally, the interior collectively contained more than 200 rooms, and the building had a footprint of . Generally, lower room
