2 editions published in 1925 in English and held by 1 library worldwide
The Los Angeles Public Library is shown during the construction phase in June 1925. This photo was taken from 5th and Flower streets and shows the northwest corner when it was still a Savoy parking lot, where several cars can be seen in neat rows. The library structure, still in its early stage, is visible on the extreme left behind the apartment house. The large white building towering in the background is the Bible Institute, later to become Church of the Open Door/Biola Institute, located at 555 S. Hope Street. Photograph dated: March 25, 1925.

LAPL Central Library construction, early south view ( Visual )
2 editions published in 1925 in English and held by 1 library worldwide
Photograph shows the construction of the Los Angeles Public Library, located at 630 W. Fifth Street; view is of the south side of the building. The structure is well under way and beginning to take shape as construction workers, barely visible in the photograph, use thousands of pieces of plywood to make the frame. It appears the construction method being used is Balloon Framing, which was a method of wood construction used primarily in the United States up until the mid-1950s. This technique utilized long continuous framing studs that ran from the sill plate to eave line with intermediate floor structures nailed to them; wall sheathing, usually a plywood, was applied to the framing thus eliminating the need for scaffolds. A makeshift ladder "leans" along the right side of the wooden frame. Photograph dated: February 26, 1925.
