Notable features include the columned entrance, quarter-circle attic windows, Flemish bond brickwork, and original staircase, woodwork and mantelpieces. It is described as one of the township's finest and best-preserved I-houses, and the 1830 stone kitchen is an early example of stone construction there.","narrative":"Along U.S. Route 50 in western Hamilton County, Ohio, a brick farmhouse built about 1830 to 1836 survives as an example of Greek Revival design adapted to the common I-house form. The two-and-a-half story main block is five bays wide, laid in Flemish bond, and has a centered entrance framed by Tuscan colonettes and a broad transom. Quarter-circle windows light the east gable. Inside, a central passage separates two rooms on each floor, and the original cherry staircase, Federal-style moldings and Greek Revival mantelpieces remain in place. Behind the house stands a fieldstone kitchen with a datestone reading \"TM 1830\", which family tradition holds was the Millers' first home on the property. A late 19th or early 20th century barn and two mid-20th century garages complete the grounds. The house was judged among the township's finest and best-preserved examples of the type, since many comparable buildings nearby have been demolished or altered. Its farmland setting is largely intact.","period_of_significance":"c. 1830-36","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as remarkably well preserved, with a high degree of integrity and a retained rural setting; the stone kitchen is used for storage and is in sound condition.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:06.98017-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/00001294.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001294/ec8b96ad40-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001294/ec8b96ad40-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomas_Miller_House,_Whitewater_Township.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomas_Miller_House,_Whitewater_Township.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988897","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Miller_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7792469"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/miller-thomas-house-00001294/"}
