Description
The California State Library and Courts Building and its Sierra white granite exterior shine in this 1929 photograph. Completed just a year earlier, the building was constructed with five floors, including a basement, and designed to provide 32,500 square feet of total floor space. The building's height, along with its twin structure, Office Building No. 1, was designed to equal that of the base of the dome of the State Capitol Building. Scripting below the pediment reads ""Into the Highlands of the Mind Let Me Go.""
