When little Millie Rogers -- who had dearly loved to sketch and read -- died in 1890 at seventeen years old -- her grieving family sought an appropriate means of memorializing her short life, and the plan to erect in Fairhaven a unique and lavish tribute to the arts was formed. There would be raised, in Millicent's name, a splendid yet functional library.
