Jefferson Market Library

The Jefferson Market Public Library is located at 425 Avenue of the Americas (at 10th St.) in Greenwich Village. It is part of the New York Public Library. The Victorian Gothic style building was designed by Frederick Clark Withers and Calvert Vaux (who also assisted in the design of Central Park) and was built during 1875-1877.

The Dairy

The Dairy in Central Park is a general visitor information center that provides the public with information on the design of Central Park, events and programs. It also features an interactive touch-screen kiosk providing general information about the park. The Dairy also serves as a gift shop that offers maps, guides, history books, and a line of mugs, key chains, T-shirts, and caps especially designed for the Central Park Conservancy. The Central Park Dairy was originally intended as a source of fresh milk for children in the late 19th century. It was built in 1870 in the Victorian Gothic style, in particular its windows and spires. The building's beams and ceilings, however, are more reminiscent of those found in a barn. The Dairy is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Tuesday through Sunday.
