Statement of Interest

The western additions to Milton Bank are presumed to date from 1911 although only the plan for the 1st floor of the porch appears to have survived. The keystone over the entrance door bears the monogram WL; the 1911 additions were for William Lindsay. Milton Bank is sub-divided into several units. There is a dilapidated polygonal rustic summer house in the garden.
