Building History
A library association had formed in Azusa, CA as early as 1887; this Carnegie Library served the city between 1910-1959; Norman F. Marsh had a busy practice in Azusa c. 1910, having designed the second building for the First Methodist Church and remodeled the A.P. Griffith Block there; the Azusa City Hall now stands on this plot, at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Azusa Avenue; the City of Asuza donated the land for the library and the Carnegie Foundation granted $10,000 for construction and furnishings; the building was a stately, small-scale example of the Classical Revival Style;
Alteration
In 1928 an addition was made, so that the building could share space with city offices;
Demolition
Demolished in 1959 to make room for a new city hall;
