Located at the corner of William and Murray streets, the home was built in 1894 by Robert and Emma Milner. Robert Milner was the owner of the Milner Carriage Works.
Following Emma’s death in 1936 and Robert’s in 1941, their children donated the home to the former City of Chatham in 1943.
The house has since been restored to reflect what life was like in 1905.
