Milton Township
The ornate design of the magnificent Chapin Mansion is an exquisite example of the American Aesthetic style of architecture, typical of the late 1800s. The enchanting abode was built in 1882 by Henry and Ruby Chapin, and later donated to the city in 1933. Today, the house is managed and maintained by the Niles History Center along with the Fort St. Joseph Museum. Guided tours of the mansion are offered at 1p on Fridays and Saturdays in summer by well-informed docents. Marvel at vibrant stained glass windows that cast colorful shadows across the floor, intricate woodwork carved by hand, beveled mirrors polished to gleaming perfection, and elegant brass chandeliers overhead as you tour the mansion. Elegant and ornate, the charming Chapin Mansion is like a giant jewelry box filled with exquisite treasures. Don't miss out on a chance to tour this rare piece of American architectural heritage.
