Description and history
The former Taylor Library building stands at the eastern end of Milford's city center green, on the north side of Broad Street at River Street. It is a 1-1/2 story roughly rectangular masonry structure, built out of a combination of local fieldstone, red sandstone, and yellow brick. It was originally covered by a tile roof, but is now covered by tile-colored shingles. The main entrance is off-center on the south-facing main facade, set in a large half-round arch topped by three-part round-arch window and projecting roof gable. At the front right corner is a projecting rounded area, capped by a bell-shaped roof. The interior retains a number of period features, but others have been lost due to the building's conversion to non-library use.[2]
