History is alive at the Redondo Beach Historic Library. The building began way back in the late 1800s as a small reading room for weary sailors and eventually became Redondo Beach’s first free-standing public library. Designed by architect Lovell Pemberton, the library was built using a combination of Spanish and Dutch colonial styles and features Art Deco moldings along the front façade and an abundance of arched top windows. It served as the public library from 1930 until 1991.
In 1996, after interior remodeling, the library once again opened to the public as an event venue. Situated on the gorgeous ten acres of Veteran’s Park, the space offers not only a spectacular view of the ocean but a luxurious array of amenities and services for weddings of up to 300 people.
