One of the oldest reading libraries in the city is The David Sassoon Library. The heritage structure was built by Albert Sassoon, and is named after his father Baghdadi Jewish philanthropist, David Sassoon. The building designed by architects J. Campbell and G. E. Gosling, for the Scott McClelland and Company, the structure is created using yellow Malad stone, with a bust of David Sassoon gracing the entrance cast out of white stone. The building is also house to the Lund and Blockley opticians.
