The main body of the building was built in 1930 by the Fitzwilliam family over the 19th century Masonic Lodge which is still in use. The complex includes a theatre with the largest sprung dance floor in North Yorkshire, the assembly rooms and the studio bar.[2]

The assembly rooms, at the back of the complex and facing into Yorkersgate, were formerly the Literary Institute and Subscription Rooms commissioned by the Fitzwilliam family in 1814.[3]

The Milton Rooms was given its name by the Fitzwilliam family and originates from their family home Milton Hall.[4]
