Hyattsville Branch Library

This 1960s "Jet Age" branch library looks like a flying saucer! The flying saucer has legs that stretch down and form a canopy that shields the main entrance in a rather novel way. Such a whimsical piece of architecture is in a place that would not generally be described as whimsical.
