El Miradero Former mansion of famous Glendale citizen.

User Rating:
Combining Spanish, Moorish,
Indian, and Victorian styles, this Saracenic mansion was built by Leslie
Brand in 1904. The spacious grounds surrounding it accommodated his private
air strip. Today this "far view from a high place" sumptuously
houses the art and music section of the Glendale Public Library. Bequeathed
to the city in 1925, his widow left additional funds to expand the
facilities in 1945. Completed in 1969, the new exhibit space with concert
hall is furnished with film screen and grand piano. The dramatic Brand
family cemetery is a short hike up the canyon. -- WEBSITE-TO-GO!
