View of one of America's most historic and sumptuous public libraries in New Orleans, Louisiana
View of a one of America's most historic and sumptuous public libraries in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is the Milton H. Latter Memorial Library, a former stately mansion built in 1907 for a department-store magnate, serving the upscale Uptown community. The 1907 neo-Italianate mansion was donated to the city by a later family that owned the mansion to serve as a library in memory of their son, who was killed fighting for the country at the Battle of Okinawa in the Pacific during World War II.
