| Additional Comments |
The house is unusual because it was built one one level at a time when most formal houses had two stories. The property belonged at a time to Darwin Maxon, a Seventh Day Baptist and fiery abolitionist. - Milton Historic Preservation Commission, History in Progress: Hiking/Biking Tour of Historic Milton, Wisconsin, n.d. Later the house was owned by Kenneth Babcock. |
