Andrew Carnegie was the major donor for the construction of this library.
The American Guide Series (as borrowed from WMHF28 informs us about the rotunda and the dome:
"The Rotunda located in the center court has Corinthian columns, balustrade, elaborate architectural details and amber-tinted glass dome and a bronze bust of Andrew Carnegie. A frieze of horses and riders inspired by bas-relief ornamentation of the Parthenon enhances the entry leading to the Rotunda from State Street."
