The library on this parcel is dated twice in the historical record and the two dates do not agree: 1953 in one passage and 1954 in another. Not yet documented: the architect and builder, the early tenants and the date of the last recorded sale. The roll classes this parcel as a vacant lot and also gives it a build year of 1900. Two buildings stand on this parcel — a recreation centre of 1924 and a branch library of the early 1950s — while the assessor's roll gives the whole parcel a single build year of 1900.
