Notes
  • Significance: The Stone Library was built by Charles Francis Adams in 1870. In the will of John Quincy Adams (Article 16, Dated: Jan. 18, 1847), he suggested a fireproof building where his books, manuscripts, and maps could be kept together. Due to his active political life, followed by his appointment as United States minister to Great Britain, Charles Francis Adams was not able to carry out his father's wishes until 1870. This building was designed by a Boston architect, Edward C. Cabot. The Stone Library was used by Charles Francis Adams for editing ten volumes of the diary of John Adams, twelve volumes of memoirs of John Quincy Adams, and the letters of Abigail Adams. Henry Adams, third son of Charles Francis Adams, not only did some of his writing in the library, but recatalogued the books. Brooks Adams, fourth son of Charles Francis Adams, published six works each written whole or in part in the Stone Library.
