This cast iron and rod fence, crafter in the mid 19th century, originally enclosed the Italianate home of Dr. Edward Haliday. In the 1890's the property was converted into the Milford Inn. The Inn, with its six fireplaces and lovely gardens, was an important Milford destination of over half a century.

The fence was gifted to the borough in 2000 in memory of the family of Jules Calestini, a former owner of the Inn.

Erected 2002 by Historic Preservation Trust of Pike County. (Marker Number 282.)
