Alexander Milne Milne
The city official overseeing arts and entertainment said he did not know much about it. I think it could actually repay the city in its interest to outsiders, to tourists. Long neglected, Milne was not in pristine shape before the storm and had not housed children since the 1980's, becoming instead the setting for after-school social service programs and athletics. The home was named for a Scottish philanthropist, Alexander Milne, who arrived here in the late 1700's and provided money for the care of troubled children in his will after making a fortune in bricks and hardware.
