Landa Branch Library

Designed by architect Robert B. Kelly in 1929, the Monte Vista residence was built as a two-story stucco and stone-tile home before Harry Landa gifted it to the city in 1946 as a living memorial to his wife, Hannah. Today, the building functions as an active public branch with public computers, an average collection of 38,500 volumes, and regular children's and adult programming. Outside, the property pairs its reading spaces with a playground and grounds cared for by the Landa Gardens Conservancy.
