Interior view of Library Hall in the Army Medical Museum and Library, where John S. Billings is seated at a reference table and Thomas W. Wise is standing near a desk. Three-tier stacks are in the background and there are 4 portraits hanging on the gate of the second tier. Image caption on page 35 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "Thomas Washington Wise, manager of library operations, stands to the left of the desk in the new Library Hall in 1887, as John Shaw Billings sits at a reference table. Billings involved himself with the smallest details of the library's planning, including the architectural designs for book shelving and retrieval. A dumbwaiter, or book lift, located at the right end of the stacks enabled staff to move books from one floor to another."
