By Seeker
Langdell Hall, the largest building of Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, houses the world's largest academic law library. Commissioned in 1905 and completed in 1907, it features a modified neoclassical design with buff limestone and Ionic columns. The building's frieze bears the inscription 'Non Sub Homine Sed Sub Deo Et Lege,' emphasizing the rule of law. Notable areas include the Caspersen Room, which once showcased rare books, and a statue of Supreme Court justice Joseph Story in the lobby. The library has undergone several expansions and renovations, making it a significant destination for legal scholars and tourists alike.
