| Transcript | Like other Will county communities, Lockport has its share of stately old mansions, that antedate the Civil war period, and one of the most beautiful is the Milne homestead, a part of the 240 acre Milne farm on the west edge of the city. The stone dwelling, built approximately 86 years ago, is guarded by a gnarled old Pine tree, which was planted by the pioneer, Robert Milne, while the homestead was in process of contruction. The home and Pine tree seem to typify the dignity of historic Lockport and the progress of the new. Dwight R. Milne and his family, descendants of Robert Milne, now occupy the home, a view of which is shown in the accompanying sketch by Adele Fay Williams, Herald-News staff artist and writer. |
