Historic Landmark No.1384 Community Mission Hills Designated September 24, 2020 |
|
|
The original Mission Hills Branch Public Library, built in 1961, is an excellent example of the Googie Modern or Futurist Modern architectural style. Sometimes the Architectural and design style is also referred to as Space Age or Populuxe. The library building has large, expansive floor to ceiling glass window walls and also reflects the "Contemporary Modern"architectural style as defined by the City of San Diego Modernism Context. The sweeping shed roof is anchored an interlocking tower form surfaced with brick in a repeating stacked design. This abstract arrangement of sharp triangular roof and glass form and solid rectangular brick form displays varied forms and textures on the building and creates a striking appearance which is visible from cars driving by. | |
