Description
Photograph of the exterior of the Pasadena Public Library, ca.1908. The stone library building has arched windows and several towers and spires, which give it a medieval appearance. Much of the view of the left side of the library is obscured by trees and bushes. In the foreground is a well-groomed lawn with a curvaceous pond surrounded by a variety of small plants. In the background on the right is large building with a dome and a tower on top.
