Named after the Free Library’s founder, Dr. William Pepper, Pepper Hall is a large, bright room on the north side of the Parkway Central Library that originally housed the Free Library’s art and architecture collections. In celebration of Parkway Central’s 90th anniversary, this exhibition shows books purchased beginning in 1895 with the George S. Pepper (Dr. Pepper’s uncle) Fund, early gifts, books purchased in 1927 when the building opened, and early photos of the room. In the Art Hallway Gallery.
