Douglass Truth Neighborhood Library
Libraries, Central District
Fodor's Review:
Originally named the Yesler Library after Seattle businessman Henry Yesler, this simple brick, schoolhouse-style building is a hub of activity. Architects W. Marbury Somervell and Harlan Thomas designed the library, which opened in 1914 and today contains more than 9,000 books -- many focusing on local and international experiences of African-Americans. At the request of local residents, who preferred that the name reflect the neighborhood's diversity, the library was renamed after Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth in 1975.
