John Milliner House

228 Cass Street

Built: c. 1890

Style: Queen Anne

John Milliner and his family built this home around 1890. Mr. Milliner, born in 1849, moved to Wabash in 1864. He then moved away to obtain an education in law and returned to Wabash in 1886 to establish his own law firm.

One of Wabash's most complete Queen Anne residences, this home consists of a corner turret with fish scale shingles, unusual gable roofs with recessed panels below the gable peaks, and a one-story wrap-around veranda along the east and south façades. Other features include its asymmetrical plan, clapboard siding, and tall windows.
