Milton Past and Present: Crossman Building

In the past 350 years, the Town of Milton has changed quite a bit. Today, we look at a fire photo from 1953 and what currently sits in the location.

The parking lot and Citizens Bank drive-through in Milton Village was a much different place prior to the 1953 fire that destroyed the property commonly known as the Crossman or Copley Building.
