Regarding The Milligan House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination:
The MilliganHouse, built ca. 1904, is architecturally significant as a unique representation of Victorian residential architecture in Flagstaff. The house possesses additional significance for its association with James C. Milligan, a local brickmaker and building contractor who played a major role in the physical development of Flagstaff's historic commercial and residential areas.

James C. Milligan arrived in Flagstaff from Las Vegas, New Mexico in 1887, five years after Flagstaff was founded. He first worked as a foreman in a brickyard owned by Frank Hochderffer and Sons. … In 1888 Milligan established his own brickyard near a sandstone quarry one mile east of town.…
For his own residence at 323 West Aspen, Milligan purchased Lots 13, 14, 15, and 16, Block Ic, Flagstaff Townsite, unimproved, from J. H. Hoskins on November 21, 1894.
