Exterior view of the Classical Revival style Monrovia Public Library, designed by architect William J. Bliesner. The library was funded by a $10,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, but the City of Monrovia did provide another $1,000 for furnishings, much of which were built by a local craftsman. A replacement library was completed in 1957 in the same park, adjacent to the site on which the Carnegie building had stood until it was demolished in 1956.
