John C. Fremont Branch

The John C. Fremont Branch Library stands at 6121 Melrose Avenue, featuring Mediterranean Revival architectural elements with distinctive masonry construction and period details.

Built in 1927 by architect Merl L. Barker, this library branch received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as part of a thematic submission.

The library functions as an educational center within the Los Angeles Public Library system, offering programs that support literacy and learning for the community.

Following renovations completed in 1996, the facility now includes modern amenities such as air conditioning, computer stations, and improved accessibility features.

The branch underwent closure in 1990 due to seismic safety concerns, leading to temporary relocation of services until structural improvements were completed.
