context_page_description: The Mills Community House, also known as the Mills Cottage and the Benzonia Public Library, is a former dormitory located at 891 Michigan Avenue in Benzonia, Michigan. It is significant for its association with Bruce Catton, who lived there when his father was president of Benzonia Academy. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

The center section is fronted by a wide porch having Tuscan columns, and the roof is punctuated in the center by a hip roof dormer holding four windows. The end sections, similarly roofed, project slightly.  Inside, an auditorium is on the top floor, and the library takes up the main floor.
