Pic of the Week: Lobby Lighting with Lovely Lamps

January 21, 2011 by Ellen Terrell

Lobby lamp. John Adams Building, Library of Congress

I have developed a bit of an obsession with the lamps in the external entrance lobby on Second Street. Usually the lights are off, but recently they were lit which meant I just had to get a picture.

I think having the lamps lit makes the space more elegant and inviting.

I just love all of the details in the space above and how the light makes that whole space glow.
