Houghton, Jr., Harvard Class of 1929, Harvard became the first American university to construct a separate research facility for the housing and study of rare books and manuscripts.

The Houghton Library, dedicated and opened in 1942, won major architectural awards and became a model for other such research libraries. [From the website]
