E. C. Scranton Library, Madison, Connecticut

[LIB2367] The inadequacies of this situation were resolved in 1900 when Miss Mary Eliza Scranton offered the Association the use of a new, completely furnished, library building which she had had built on the corner of Wall Street adjoining her family's old home. The offer was accepted, books moved in, and in 1901 the Association dissolved and the E. C. Scranton Memorial Library was incorporated.

The building was designed by Henry Bacon, an eminent New York architect who later designed the Lincoln Memorial. A New York firm of "contracting designers" were in complete charge of the architecture, construction, decorations and furnishings, the total cost of which was about $30,000. This original structure is the front section of the present building. [Website]

1936 Taylor Library, Milford, Connecticut

[LIB2366] The Taylor Library at Milford, Conn., the gift of Mr. Henry Augustus Taylor, was dedicated on the afternoon of Feb. 2. The building is of granite, in Colonial style, and stands in Broad Street, on ground given by the town, which has pledged itself, also, to contribute a certain turn annually for the maintenance of the institution for fifty years. There is, of course, a large and commodious reading-room, but the library proper deserves a moment's attention. It is divided into seven large alcoves, which have nearly all been taken in charge by representative Milford families, each family furnishing its special alcove with choice books. These alcoves naturally group themselves around the "Colonial Alcove," founded by the late Nathan Gillette Pond—a memorial to the early settlers of the town, furnished with gift books by their descendants. The rest of the space at the architect's disposal has been used for a reference-room, where are kept, also, the books that cannot be taken from the library.
