Meanwhile Mr. Edwards had instructed his architect,
Mr. Maurice IS. Adams, F.R.I.B.A., of Bedford Park, to
prepare plans for the proposed building, a description of
which appeared in the Building News of 29th March.
When erected, the Library will be a great ornament to
that part of Uxbridge Road, the elevation being of a
pleasing and artistic character, while the internal arrangements
are both simple and commodious. The Library is
expected to be ready for occupation early in 1896.
It only remains to place on record the thanks of the
Parishioners of Hammersmith to the Copyholders of the
Manor of Fulham and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
for the gift of the valuable site, and to Mr. J. Passmore
Edwards for his munificent present of a handsome and
commodious Library, which cannot fail to improve the
minds and brighten the lives of all those members of the
community who make use of it in the time to come.
