James Millikin Home
1957: Repairs to the Decatur Art Center, 125 N. Pine St., make it look as shiny in 1957 as it may have looked when builty by James Millikin in 1876. The sturdy brick building has been tuckpointed, the wood porches rebuilt, the woodwork painted, plumbing, wiring and roofing has been repaired. After the death of Anna B. Millikin in 1913 the house stood vacant until used as a hospital in the flu epidemic of 1918. The first paintings were hung in 1919.
