In the late 19th century, New York’s old Croton Reservoir was torn down, with the idea that its replacement would quench a different kind of thirst. Over one hundred years later, the spot is home to the fifth-largest library in the world, serving as the main hub of knowledge for the American metropolis, and lion statues.
