The Ernie Pyle Library is the former home of famed war correspondent Ernie Pyle. The 1,129 square foot home was built in 1940. The City of Albuquerque acquired the house from the Pyle estate and in 1948 opened it as a branch library. You'll find Pyle memorabilia alongside the library's books and media.Every detail, including the white picket fence built by Pyle and the grave marker of his dog, Cheetah, has been carefully preserved. In 1997 the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark on September 20, 2006.The Ernie Pyle Library is not ADA accessible because the historic nature of the building and grounds include steps, narrow passages, and small spaces. The closest ADA accessible Libraries include San Pedro Library, South Broadway Library and Special Collections Library.
