Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library was a former branch library of the Los Angeles Public Library. The Spanish Colonial Revival building was designed by architect C. E. Noerenberg and completed in 1926. The branch was named for 19th Century American author Helen Hunt Jackson whose popular novel Ramona told the story of a romance between a mixed-race girl and an American Indian during the days of the California missions. The branch has ceased operating as a library and has been converted into a church building.
