Alice Millard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alice Millard Alice Parsons Millard (May 4, 1873 – July 15, 1938) was an American bookseller and promoter of culture in the Arroyo Seco region of Los Angeles County. She is widely known for commissioning Frank Lloyd Wright to build her house (La Miniatura) in Pasadena. == Chicago ==
Millard was born in Chicago and left as a young woman to study art in London. On a visit home to Chicago, she wandered into the Chicago book store operated by A.C. McClurg and asked for a book on William Morris. George Millard, who worked in the Rare Book Departmenet, "was pleased to help the attractive young woman who had interests similar to his own," according to Ward Ritchie. A romance ensued and in 1901, Parsons accompanied Millard on a book-buying trip to England. Parsons was 28 when she married Millard (age 55) in St. Bridge's in London. In 1906, their friend Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house for them in the Prairie School style (now called the George Madison Millard House) located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Chicago.
