Milltown Park was previously known as Milltown House, was originally known as Milltown George, and was built under the direction of Charles Frederick Anderson. It is a substantial classically proportioned country house, which retains its early form, character and much of its early fabric. It is built in a restrained, well proportioned neo-classical idiom and represents an early example of this type of architecture in this area. The Doric portico is well proportioned and retains crisp limestone detailing. The outbuildings retain much of their form and add further interest and context to the site.
