On March 17, 1884, in a letter to Mayor Davis and the City Council, Rodney Wallace wrote, "I propose to convey by proper deed to the city of Fitchburg my lot of land situated at the corner of Main Street and Newton Place, and to expend, with the advice and approval of the Trustees of the Public Library, within the next two years, a sum not less than forty thousand dollars ($40,000) in erecting a building on said lot...to be used for a Free Public Library, Reading Rooms and Art Gallery, and for no other purpose."
