Revision 1985
This simple Bungalow with a recessed corner porch was probably built in 1919
by Dr. W.A. Miller, possibly as a rental. The house is typical of much of the
less elaborate housing that filled in the empty lots between the larger houses
in this part of the district in the first decade of the century.
