Three early houses make up the historic complex known as Wharf Lane, named for the old street which ran from the Town Dock, scene of Milford's commerce by water, to the Milford Green. Along this street could be seen warehouses, general stores, tanner's and cooper's shops. A portion of many homes were devoted to businesses and shops and family members were often employed in early trade.

The Bryan-Downs House c. 1785

Built by Capt. Jehiel Bryan and his son. This interesting house is typical of the period, retaining its original siding and windows across the front.

The Clark-Stockade House c. 1780

Was traditionally the first house built outside the stockade or palisades which surrounded the town of Milford against Indians.
