Richard Henry Dana Branch, Historic library branch in Cypress Park, Los Angeles, United States
The Richard Henry Dana Branch features elements of Georgian Revival architecture with a high-pitched gable roof and traditional New England Colonial design elements.
Built in 1926 by architect Harry Sims Bent, the branch was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 alongside other Los Angeles libraries.
The library building reflects the architectural trends of early 20th century Los Angeles through its symmetrical shapes and classical decorative details.
After serving as a library until 2008, the building reopened in 2015 as the Cypress Park Club House, managed by the Department of Recreation and Parks.
The structure stands as the largest wooden building among the original Los Angeles branch libraries, featuring distinctive porthole-style windows and clapboard siding.
