The Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library, situated at the University of Southern California (USC), is a notable landmark on campus. Commissioned by oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny in 1932 to honor his late son, this library is renowned for its striking Romanesque Revival architecture. The building’s facade, with its rounded arches, pale brick, and limestone, reflects Northern Italy’s Romanesque style. Statues of Shakespeare and Dante welcome you at the entrance, and the marble above the doors depicts a teacher with students. On the ground floor, the library houses 20,000 books and archives related to film and music studies. The second floor features USC Special Collections, which includes rare books and archives. Doheny Memorial Library has been featured in movies like The Graduate and Matilda. Its lush gardens and classic architectural details make it a fascinating destination for visitors and scholars.
