Millicent Library, Public library in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, United States.
The Millicent Library features Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival architectural elements, with ornate stone details and a grand entrance at its Center Street location.
Constructed in 1893 as a memorial to Millicent Gifford Rogers, the library was funded by her father, Standard Oil executive Henry Huttleston Rogers, after her death at age seventeen.
The interior contains a memorial stained-glass window depicting Erato, the Muse of Poetry, designed to resemble young Millicent Gifford Rogers herself.
The library provides local residents with access to books, digital resources, educational programs, and research materials through its regular opening hours and membership system.
Within the building's cornerstone rests a sketch of Millicent, the Rogers family ancestry documentation, and a newspaper featuring the original building plans.
