Notes:: Stereograph of an exterior view of the Kalamazoo Ladies' Library Association building in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Wooden fence is visible. Park Street is dirt. A unidentified boy leans against the fence in front of the building. This view was probably taken very soon after construction as evidenced by the size of trees and lack of mature plants near the structure. The spire of the Methodist Episcopal Church is visible in the background. This building is located at 333 S. Park Street, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
