It is a part of Houston Public Library (HPL) and is located at 1302 Heights Boulevard,[2] in Heights block 170.[3] It has a pink Stucco Italian Renaissance façade and arches in its doors and windows. Jason P. Theriot wrote in the Houston Review that the ceilings are "high" and that the arches were "beautifully" done.[4] The library has 14,500 square feet (1,350 m2) of space.[5]
The City of Houston designated it as a protected landmark in 2005.[6] The National Park Service added the facility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1984 as Houston Public Library.[1]
