Ernie Pyle Public Library

The modest 1940 residential home of Pulitzer Prize-winning WWII war correspondent Ernie Pyle now operates as the smallest public branch library in the country, maintaining his original typewriter, personal correspondence, and wartime souvenirs inside.

The move: Browse the cozy living room to inspect Pyle's personal desk and medals, read a passage from his WWII dispatches, and take a quiet neighborhood walk into nearby Nob Hill.
