Notes: Circa 1938
Brand Library and Art Center
1601 West Mountain Street
Glendale, CA
(pictured above) 		Notes: The original mansion was built by Leslie C. Brand and named El Miradero. The design is similar to the East Indian Pavilion built for the 1893 Columbian World Exposition held in Chicago. The architecture is considered Saracenic, with crenellated arches, bulbous domes and minars combining characteristics of Spanish, Moorish, and Indian styles. In contrast to the cool white exterior, a Victorian decor was followed inside. Mr. Brand died in the house in 1925. He bequeathed El Miradero to the city, although Mrs. Brand retained rights of residence until 1945. The will provided that the property should be used exclusively for a public park and library. Mrs. Brand died in 1945, and by 1956 the mansion had been converted into Brand Library.
