Trinity College's Longest-Running Tradition - Apparently.
For 161 years, the famous Long Room of Trinity College's Old Library in Dublin, Ireland, has remained relatively unchanged. Built in 1712, the room is a stunning example of Georgian architecture, with over 200,000 of Trinity College's oldest and most valuable books stored along its 65-foot-long shelves. The room's most striking feature is its vaulted ceiling, adorned with intricate plasterwork and adorned with 48 busts of famous writers and philosophers, including Aristotle and Plato. The Long Room is one of Ireland's most beloved cultural treasures.
