Richmond Hill Branch, ca. 1910.

Designed by Tuthill & Higgins and built in 1905, the Richmond Hill Library sits on a large triangular plot created by Hillside Avenue, Lefferts Boulevard, and the elevated tracks of the Long Island Railroad running along Babbage Street. The sizable lawn has long been used for community activities and programming. The interior is dominated by a colorful 160-square-foot mural that depicts the history of the neighborhood. The mural,"The Story of Richmond Hill" was created by Philip Evergood, under the auspices of the WPA.
