==History==
Sylvester M. Millard was raised on his father's farm in Michigan. With little previous schooling, he attended a boarding school in Lansing and the enrolled at the Agricultural College. He graduated in 1864 and moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to study law under Butler & Cottrell. He was admitted to the bar in 1867 and moved to Chicago, Illinois the next year. He became one of the city's most prominent lawyers, focusing on chancery litigation and sounseling.
In 1878, Millard moved to Highland Park on Chicago's North Shore. He was elected alderman of the city the next year, serving until 1891. Illinois Governor Shelby Moore Cullom appointed Millard a trustee of the Illinois Industrial University, where he served for twelve years including a six-year stint as President of the Board. From 1885 to 1891, he served on the Highland Park Board of Trustees. He was a longtime member of the Union League of Chicago and the Chicago Bar Association.〔 In 1893, Millard commissioned prominent architect William W. Boyington to design him a home that resembled a log cabin. The Millard house, which Millard called "Ravine Lodge" but which later became known as "The Log House," was built with elm logs and remained in the family for about 100 years. Millard died at the Lake Geneva Sanitarium on December 1, 1905 after a three-year illness.〔 On September 29, 1982, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It was listed as part of the Highland Park Multiple Resource Area.〔
