Taylor Memorial Library, Historic library and cultural center in Milford, Connecticut.
The Taylor Memorial Library occupies a stone and brick building at 5 Broad Street, featuring a distinctive bell-shaped roof and arched windows.
Founded in 1895 by financier Henry Augustus Taylor, the library replaced the Milford Lyceum Library which operated from 1858 to 1894.
The Richardsonian Romanesque architecture of the building demonstrates the influence of late 19th-century New England design principles on public institutions.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Milford Chamber of Commerce after functioning as a public library until 1976.
Local fieldstone, red sandstone, and yellow brick construction materials were sourced from Connecticut quarries to create this National Register landmark.
