William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, UCLA

Reason: fine example of romantic revival architecture, historic building in Los Angeles
Proposed caption: The William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, built 1924-1926 by Robert Farquhar, is the oldest building and one of the twelve libraries at the University of California, Los Angeles. It is one of the most comprehensive rare books and manuscripts libraries in the United States, with particular strengths in English literature and history (1641-1800), Oscar Wilde, and fine printing. It is located about thirteen miles from UCLA, in the historic West Adams District of Los Angeles north of the University of Southern California.

Oppose Far too small for FP, and a bit tilted I fear. It's a good illustration for its article, but it'd need a rather larger image for featured picture. I think the inside would also be interesting to see, since its contents make it at least equally notable, if not more so (since it's not particularly unusual for an American university campus building, though it must be said that it isn't by any means unattractive).

Oppose should be speedily closed --Childzy ¤ Talk 09:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Even without the tilt and with better sizing, it's just not good composition; it's a straight-on shot of ~~a boring-shaped building~~ the flat side of an otherwise interestingly-shaped building. Maybe if it was taken from fifteen feet to the left? I also support speedily closing. --Midnightdreary 18:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
