Art Commission backs Lenox Library move to Central Park Arsenal site
The Municipal Art Commission approved moving the Lenox Library to the Arsenal site in Central Park to serve as Park Department headquarters. Tension rose with protests from civic groups while Park Commissioner Stover and architect Hastings supported the plan. The decision hinges on Board of Estimate funding to tear down the Arsenal, with Frick funding the library removal and reerection.
