library, Modern (architecture)
Built in 1966, the Downtown Reno Library is a unique architectural gem serving as the urban hub of the Library System. Architect Hewitt Wells wanted to place the library within a park, but was unable to do so. Instead, he designed the library to be as park-like as possible, featuring hundreds of plants, several full-grown trees, and a pond with a fountain. The curved flowing lines of the building are classic 1960's architectural style.
