The Milligan House

James C. Milligan made the bricks that built Flagstaff, then built himself this house from them. Arriving in 1887, five years after the railroad town was founded, he opened a brickyard by a sandstone quarry east of town and became one of the contractors who gave the young city its commercial and residential face. His own Queen Anne home, raised in the early 1900s of local sandstone and brick, was among the most distinctive in Flagstaff. Listed on the National Register, it now houses the city's visitor center.
