The newly completed Henry Adams Branch (later renamed Atwater Branch) of the Los Angeles Public Library, located at 3229 Glendale Boulevard in Atwater Village. F. W. Butler owned an empty lot at 3229 Glendale Boulevard, just across the street from the Citizen’s Trust and Savings Bank, and offered to build a storefront for the library. In 1953, Butler constructed a 1,820 square foot building, and the Library Board approved a five-year lease of the structure. On July 20, 1953, the community gathered in great numbers to celebrate the Henry Adams Branch reopening. This structure, while no longer occupied by the branch library, is still standing.
