(Also listed as Milner Community Hall/Food Market/Esso)
Found at 6830-216 Street, the Milner Community Hall is a two-storey building built in 1912. The ground floor was used for various commercial enterprises, including the Bank of Hamilton. The upper floor had a hardwood floor and was used for dances and other community events. From 1922-1924, the Milner Co-operative Society leased two ground floor rooms to the Langley School Board.

The church was built in 1886 by Thomas Turnbull on property donated by James M. Johnson. It was originally known as Langley Prairie Methodist, but at 25 years of age was renamed Milner Methodist, and in 1925 the congregation joined the newly formed United Church of Canada. At that time the church hall and kitchen were added to the rear of the structure. It was designated a Municipal Heritage Site in 1983, and moved to its new location at Milner Park, just south of the original location, in 2006.

This store was originally known as J. Graham General Merchant. It was later known as Milner Supply. It is not the same store that was in the downstairs of the Milner Community Hall.
