In Natural Setting: Although the Ann Arbor Public Library is located in a downtown area at S. Fifth Ave. and E. William St., the inclusion of planting gardens on two levels provides a natural setting for the trim brick structure. The location is the site of the former Junius Beal home, for years an Ann Arbor landmark.
