Originally called South branch, this Classical Revival Carnegie library opened in 1905. Declared obsolete in 1970, the graceful brick and stone building was demolished. Sunset Park branch, built on the same site, opened in 1972. In a major renovation in 1998, a new glass-brick facade was installed.
