Mary Baker Eddy Library / Mapparium

The Mary Baker Eddy Library is housed in an 11-story structure originally built for The Christian Science Publishing Society. Constructed between 1932 and 1934, the neoclassical style building, with its renowned Mapparium, has become an historic landmark in Boston's Back Bay.

Restoration of the Library's 81,000-square foot portion of the building began in 1998, and the final renovation and additional construction were completed in 2002. Boston's Ann Beha Architects designed the renovation, including a 1,000-square foot entrance addition facing Massachusetts Avenue. Outside the entrance is a new garden, complete with water wall and pond, trees, and seating areas.
