The Milroy House is not only a fine example of late-Victorian frame architecture, but is also significant historically as one of the earliest houses in the town of Houston Heights and as the home of one of the men most influential in the development of that area. Built in 1898, the house was home to John Milroy until his death in 1918. Descendants of the Milroy family resided in the house until 1979. It remains the most impressive nineteenth century house on the street, with its original carriage house.

Don Malarkey of Easy Company
Don Malarkey, a distinguished veteran of World War II, gained prominence as one of the courageous soldiers of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. His experiences, documented in Stephen E. Ambrose's book "Band of Brothers" and the subsequent HBO miniseries of the same name, have immortalized him as a symbol of bravery, camaraderie, and resilience in the face of adversity.
Malarkey was born on July 31, 1921, in Astoria, Oregon. Like many young men of his generation, he felt a sense of duty to serve his country following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. In 1942, Malarkey enlisted in the United States Army and volunteered for the paratroopers, a decision that would shape the course of his life.
As a member of Easy Company, Malarkey participated in some of the most harrowing battles of World War II, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the Battle of Carentan, Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. Throughout these campaigns, he demonstrated remarkable courage under fire and unwavering loyalty to his comrades.
