The Browning House is a historic house in Milan, Tennessee. It was built in 1873,[2] and was the childhood home of Gordon Browning, who served as the governor of Tennessee from 1937 to 1939.[2] In 1941, the house was purchased by the Milan Army Ammunition Plant (MLAAP), and was unused until 1953,[2] when it was restored by Procter and Gamble (the MLAAP's operating contractor) and used as additional office space.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 28, 1974.[1]
