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.
George Millard, who worked in the Rare Book Department, "was pleased to help the attractive young woman who had interests similar to his own," according to Ward Ritchie.
He searched the area and found a tree-covered ravine leading into the Arroyo which he persuaded Alice to buy.
"[1] Alice Millard was “one of the most important American booksellers of the 20th century, advising, teaching, and influencing such affluent disciples as William Andrews Clark, Templeton Crocker, Caroline Boeing Poole, and Estelle Doheny.
