Add to My List Check Off

Built in 1883, this Queen Anne-style townhouse was constructed for Charles K. Miller, a marketing and advertising executive, and remained in his family until 1947, when it was sold and converted into apartments, and narrowly escaped demolition for a larger Modern residential tower in 1964. The house is clad in red brick with a mansard roof, two front gabled wall dormers, limestone trim, a stone base, an oxeye window on the second story of the front facade and sides of the larger of the two wall dormers, a large tripartite picture window on the first floor with a decorative glass transom, a front porch with a shed roof and decortive carved columns, and a cornice with dentils. The house is a contributing structure in the Gold Coast Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
