William A. Imbody Building 122-124 S Front St

William Imbody had a funeral service in this building, and also lived there with his wife Martha and daughter Edna. He was born in 1848 and died in 1914. Later, Charles L. Hause had a plumbing and heating business there. The building is still standing.

From the Milton Historical Society Walking Tour Brochure: This building is a very early structure in Milton. The alley or landing site to the right of the building allowed access to the river for goods transported and traded in the town and surrounding area.

The building not only served as a warehouse, but also as a cabinetmaker’s shop and a mortuary. There was an elevator installed to move the furniture and coffins between the first and second floors.

Town founder Andrew Straub’s deed to Jared Irwin indicates lots of ground and premises. The deed of Seth Iredell included the buildings and improvements. Cabinetmaker Williamson Marsh’s 1860s deed included a stone warehouse and lot.
