Historic Homes of Milan, Ohio

It has been documented that Milan's greatest period of population growth was the mid 1800's and much of the charm of the village today is reflected in those historic homes that grace this community. In a 1976 book titled "Milan and Milan Township, Ohio",  one of the chapters of the book showed the still existing homes in the city that were built in the 1800's. We thought it would be interesting to revisit those homes - almost 30 years later to see how well they've withstood the test of time. We've also added a few landmark buildings from that period to make the timeline more complete.
