The Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library invites residents to celebrate the unveiling of newly installed stained-glass windows from the original 1929 Bruggemeyer Memorial Library. The unveiling ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 16 at 4:30 p.m. in the Library’s lobby.
Monterey Park’s first library building opened its doors in 1929 at 256 W. Garvey Avenue, where St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church is now located. The library was a gift from Judge and former Monterey Park City Councilmember Mancha Bruggemeyer in memory of his first wife Roberta Pauline Bruggemeyer. Her portrait can be viewed in the Library's Local History Room.
The stained-glass windows were created prior to World War l and were originally installed at the Redlands home of Mancha Bruggemeyer. In 1929, when the Bruggemeyer Memorial Library was opened, these windows were installed in a room dedicated to Mancha Bruggemeyer’s late wife, Roberta Pauline. Visit the Library’s website to learn more about the history of the stained-glass windows.
