Clovis Library

The Jack and Jane Leddy family lived in Clovis, California (near Fresno) between 1950 and 1956. They lived on Crescent Drive in Tarpy Village.  This is the Carnegie Library in Clovis (as it is today).

I remember it being more lovely and having large trees in front.  The second picture, from the Carnegie Library site, is more like what I remember.  We used to have library volunteers read stories to us aloud o the lawn.  Here's a description I found at Waymarking.com "The Clovis Carnegie Library was constructed in 1915 with an $7000.00 dollar endowment from the Carnegie Foundation. It was used as a library until 1976. Designed by Fresno Architects Edward Glass and Charles Butner, it is described  as a simple classical building with Spanish Elements.The building's exterior has been renovated covering up much of its former glory. It does retain its original massing, wide eaved roof, and entry stairway that might give the untrained eye a thought that this building may have had another life. It has been used as the offices for the Clovis Chamber of Commerce since 1985. It was named Fresno County Landmark #157 in 1967."
