Malaga Cove Library occupies a 1929 Mediterranean Revival landmark designed by architect Myron Hunt, situated within Malaga Cove Plaza in Palos Verdes Estates, California. The five-story building features cream-colored stucco walls, a red mission tile roof, wrought-iron railings, and a main reading room with exposed wood beams and hand-carved walnut furniture — all set against a hillside overlooking the Pacific coast.
