The Lemuel Milk Carriage House or Stone Barn is a historic building in Kankakee, Illinois, United States.
By purchasing cheap, swampy land for draining, Milk was able to amass a large estate exceeding 25,000 acres (10,000 ha).
Milk's most ambitious undertaking was the draining of Beaver Lake in Newton County, Indiana.
[2] The carriage house, built at some point between 1861 and 1868, is the only remaining structure from Milk's large estate.
Milk lived in a seventeen-room mansion at the corner of Oak and Indiana Avenues, which has since been demolished.
