Berkeley Library Makes List Of Most Beautiful Libraries In US

BERKELEY, CA — Real estate website Curbed has come up with a list of the 20 most beautiful libraries in America. Making the cut is the Doe Library on the UC Berkeley campus.

Curbed selected a combination of historical and modern buildings.

Regarding Doe, Curbed reported, "Set on the UC Berkeley campus, the Doe Library—which sits adjacent to the Bancroft Library—features a Neoclassical-style building completed in 1911. Named after its benefactor, Charles Franklin Doe, the structure’s iconic columns and grand scale make it one of the most recognizable buildings on campus."

The only other library from the Bay Area to make the list is the Main Library of the San Francisco Public Library system. Down South, the Los Angeles Central Library and the Geisel Library at UC San Diego were also chosen.
