Miraleste Library artist's sketch

Details

CollectionImages of the Palos Verdes Library DistrictDate1967DescriptionImage shows view of artist's rendering for Miraleste Library, providing a ground level perspective of the Modern one-story design with glass windows, entrance and parking facilities on the 1.6 acre site. Located at 29089 Palos Verdes Drive East in Rancho Palos Verdes, the library was designed by architect Thomas J. Russell and opened on October 24, 1970. Plans for a library facility on the east side of the Peninsula started as early as 1964. At that time, the nearest library was a Los Angeles County Library facility located on Narbonne Avenue. Library services were provided to the community with a small collection at the Miraleste School. While the permanent facility was being built, the Library District had an interim branch from 1966 to 1970 at Miraleste Plaza.NotesDate built: 1970LanguageengPhoto Size8 x 10 in.Photo Format1 photographic print (b/w)Resource Typestill imageHeld ByPalos Verdes Library District.
