Henry Huntington (1850 ~ 1927) was a very successful businessman who built a financial empire that included railroad companies, utilities, and real estate holdings.
As stated in the library introduction: “Huntington was a man of vision – with a special interest in books, art, and gardens. During his lifetime, he amassed the core of one of the finest research libraries in the world, established a splendid art collection, and created an array of botanical gardens with plants from a geographic range spanning the globe.”
There are 12 specialized gardens in the library, which covers 150 acres of land. The most visited gardens are Desert Garden, Japanese Garden, and Rose Garden.
This picture was taken in Japanese garden. A different view of the same building is shown in WS
Huntington Library is located in the city of San Marino. It is currently owned by a private non-profit educational trust. The admission is $15.00 to general public. The parking is free. Its opening hour is 10:30am ~ 4:30pm |
