Description
Jefferson Hall is the 3rd building built at West Point to be a library. The first was in 1841 and the second, now part of Bartlett Hall, was completed in 1964. Before the 1840s, the library was in a converted house and then in the 1815 Academy, which burned in 1838. Many of the books were rescued from that conflagration by cadets who scaled ladders to reach the second floor.
