The Hornbein Building, formerly the Martin Luther King Jr. Library and Reading Room, was designed by premier Denver architect Victor Hornbein in 1953, and served as Aurora’s first independent library building. The building is “Usonian,” a style developed by Frank Lloyd Wright which uses a variety of natural finishes and open interior spaces; it is influenced by traditional Japanese design. The Hornbein Building has been in continual service to the City of Aurora and its citizens as a library, reading room, and city office space since its dedication on May 23, 1954.
