Temporary circulation desk during Phase I of Library Renovation/Expansion at 20 W. Duarte Road. This circulation desk was located in the NW corner of what used to be the Children's Room. The window to the left looks out into what used to be the Children's Room patio. Globe lights.
Three people standing behind small table that has large bouquet of roses on it. Left to right: ?, Mayor A.N. Multer (1926-1930), and Gladys Randall, City Clerk. We believe this identification is correct, but lady on left could be Gladys Randall. May have been taken outside one entrance to City Hall at corner of First Avenue and Huntington Drive.
John "Jack" Ott, dressed in Indian Headdress is seen kissing the nose of an Indian pony (his daughter seemed to remember). Photo apparently was taken on north side of Anita Baldwin's home, Anoakia, shortly after it was completed. Mr. Ott was born in 1877 and came to Arcadia about 1907. He became City Marshal in 1914.
