![Albert Hadley\'s Astor Library (Feliciano for NY Times)](https://www.the-private-library.com/wp-content/gallery/eyecandy/hadley-astor_-feliciano_0.jpg "\\"Perhaps (Albert Hadley\'s) most celebrated work was the library at the Park Avenue home of Brooke Astor. He transformed a high-ceilinged faux-French drawing room into a strikingly elegant space with red-lacquered shelves and brass trim befitting a client who had given considerable philanthropic support to libraries, especially the New York Public Library.\\" Bruce Weber")
