Library


The Helen Hunt Jackson Branch of the Los Angeles Library System can be seen in the photo. This is how it appeared when built in the 1920s. It has since been remodeled as a church.

At the time of the library opening, the Los Angeles Times wrote:

Noerenberg, the architect, ... has succeeded in combining in this new library ample window lighting with sufficient wall and shelving space together with an attractive exterior. There is a main reading room 26 x 25, a children's room 22 x 23, a delightful clubroom for the neighborhood gatherings and kitchen and workroom for the staff. (Los Angeles Times, 1925).

The building was added in 1987, along with several other library branches, to the National Register of Historical Places.
