On an Augusta County hillside site next to Route 42, this late-18th-century limestone farmhouse, one of the earliest large houses in the region, was erected for Henry Miller, a local iron manufacturer. Miller’s nearby Mossy Creek Furnace produced a wide range of household utensils and supplied cannonballs and arms during the Revolutionary War. His house reflects the amalgamation of British and Germanic building traditions that occurred in the region toward the end of the century. The stonework and floor plan are Germanic in style, while the general outline of the Henry Miller House and the placement of the chimney on the end of the house show a Georgian influence. A brick wing was added to the building’s west end in the early 19th century. Most of the robust original woodwork of the older section survives.
