Samuel Miller, a carpenter, built this 2½ story tile-roofed house for his home, ca. 1777. The addition to the house was designed in 1928 by Samuel Gaillard Stoney. The initials "CB" in the balcony are for Caroline Bacon, the then owner. Miller was for many years a partner of carpenter John Palmer, and both were banished by the British to Philadelphia.
