The 20-room brick and wood Milton Hotel was a local landmark and the center of area social activity for over a century. During its life the hotel went by several names, including Gordon Hotel and Hotel Caswell. Originally a tavern on the stagecoach route from Richmond to Raleigh, it was famous for its cuisine. The end came in 1953 when disgruntled striking mill workers from nearby Danville, Virginia, purportedly torched the building to send a message to non-strikers who were living there.
