The view is to the southeast. The first two houses shown were owned by the Cadwallader estate.
The first was occupied by D. H. Hause, and the second by Albert Cadwallader (1). To see how
different this area looked after it was rebuilt, look in the Streets section. Albert Cadwallader built the Milton Realty building on this site in 1910.
The first house is believed to have originally been Bethuel Vincent's home and tavern, which
included the first Post Office. It was sold to Seth Cadwallader in 1845. The second and third
houses were owned by the estate of William H. Sanderson. The third house later became the
Milton National Bank, with the cashier's residence in the left part and the bank on the right. (2)
