Exterior view of the storefront University Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, located at 1479 West Adams Boulevard.Opened in 1923, the University Branch was originally located in a Northern Italian style building at 3420 S. Hoover Street, near Exposition Park. In 1965, the stylish and ornate building was sold to the University of Southern California for development purposes and the branch collections were moved to the storefront seen here. In 1973 the University Branch was renamed the Exposition Park-Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Regional Branch Library in honor of the great educator and humanitarian. Two years later, the branch left the storefront location and was placed in a new building, located at 3665 So. Vermont Avenue. Designed by the City of Los Angeles' Bureau of Public Buildings architectural unit, the branch was built with Capital Improvement Program funds to the cost of $486,400.
