Description
Photograph of the exterior of the Pasadena Public Library and an adjacent park, ca.1908. The park is in the foreground and has a short-trimmed lawn with a path meandering on its right side past a fancy gazebo on the left and an arrangement of chairs on the right. There is a line of palm trees bordering the left side of the park. The stone library building is behind the park on the left side of the image and has several towers and spires decorating it. The San Gabriel Mountains are visible in the background.
