The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival Eagle Rock Carnegie Library was built in 1914. The original building was designed by W.E. Kleinpell and funded by a grant from the Carnegie Library Foundation. Architects Henry C. Newton and Robert D. Murray were selected for an extensive remodeling in 1927. When a new library was constructed in 1981, the library was transferred to the Department of General Services. The building now serves as the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Center, administered in partnership between the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Association.

Declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM # 292) in 1985. Located at 2225 Colorado Boulevard.
