The E-Sylum: Volume 6, Number 4, January 26, 2003, Article 10 GARRETT NUMISMATIC LIBRARY UPDATE Joel Orosz writes: "Regarding Nick Graver's query about whether the Garrett numismatic library is still in Evergreen House, I can authoritatively state that it was in residence as of March of 1995, when I paid the house a visit. The collection was mainly a working library of catalogues and the standard references of the 1880s--I don't recall seeing any special editions or sumptuous bindings. The numismatic books were not in the large library addition (below which the coin vault is located), but rather in the original portion of the house, on bookshelves in two large parlor rooms. Whether they are still there, I cannot say. I wrote up my visit, under the title of "John Work Garrett, Evergreen House, and Me," which was published in Bowers and Merena's Rare Coin Review No. 110 (March/April 1996)."
