This was not the main library for the Seminary.  The
Miller Library was built to hold the rare book collection of Jahu
Dewitt Miller. Miller was a good friend of the Cassedys, and when
he passed through on a speaking tour in 1901, John Cassedy offered to build him a place to store
his collection. Miller was somewhat surprised that this offer was made in earnest, but within a
few months (December, 1901) the building was complete and the collection was moved in
January, 1902. |

| The exterior of the building is marked by a stucco
band, which indicates the location of the interior mezzanine level. The
graceful curve of the walled entrance complements the curve of the hill on which the
building is set. An upstairs room may have been Miller's office during the several weeks
each Spring that he stayed at Forest Glen. |
