Description
Home to famed Ithaca architect William Henry Miller for forty years. Designed by Miller and built in 1876. Lillian Heller purchased the home from Miller’s heirs in 1932. She offered boarding to architecture students in exchange for household help. In 1957, she transferred the house to the Cornell College of Arts and Architecture where it continued to accommodate architecture students as boarders.
