"Building has housed Pomona College offices and classrooms since 1953. Carnegie funded only two academic libraries in California, with terms different than for public libraries. The college was offered $40,000 on condition that it raise an equal endowment for maintenance. Designed by Franklin P. Burnham in a Classical Revival temple style, using reinforced concrete in an imposing exterior. It served students and public until a 1914 L.A. County Library Claremont branch opened." (
