Excerpt from Annual Report of the Boston Public Library: For the Year Ending December 31, 1968 As Director, and Librarian, I have the honor to submit my report for the year January 1 to December 31, 1968. The reopening of the West End Branch Library on January 26 in a new building at 151 Cambridge street marked the completion of the first unit in an approved building program which encompasses a major addition to the Central Library and eight branch libraries. Branch library service was first established by the Trustees in the West End in 1894, when they converted the Old West Church, designed by Asher Benjamin in 1806, to branch library uses. Neighborhood changes due to urban renewal resulted in the suspension of service in 1960. The new building was designed by Maginnis Walsh Kennedy and constructed by the Charles Logue Building Company. The landscaping was done by Olmsted As sociates, Inc. Plantings are by Jay M. Berkson Land scaping, Inc. The building cost approximately Furnishings and equipment cost an additional It provides approximately square feet of space, and includes open shelving for more than volumes, seating facilities for 110 people, and an all-purpose room accommodating 75 persons. The exterior of the building is finished in red brick, concrete, and glazed aluminum frames of light color. The building is completely air-conditioned. An informal flagstone path leads to the entrance porch. The new library building looks out upon the historic Harrison Gray Otis House and turns its back to the modern eight story office building that abuts it to the west, creating an interlude of campus-like quiet in the New West End. Government Center workers and hospital staff members as well as residents of Beacon Hill and the West End have made good use of the services provided by the new library.
