It was built for Charles Anson Miller, a long-established Cincinnati funeral director who also served on the board of elections. Its asymmetrical Eclectic design with a limestone facade and battlemented portico is noted as an important feature.","narrative":"Built in 1890 at 1817 Chase Street in Cincinnati's Northside, this two-and-a-half-story residence was designed by the firm Samuel Hannaford & Sons for Charles Anson Miller. Miller was born in Portageville, New York, in 1842 and entered the undertaking business in Cincinnati in 1876. By 1904 he was listed as the city's oldest living funeral director, and he also served fifteen years on the board of elections. The asymmetrical house combines brick with a limestone front, cut in horizontal bands of varied sizes that contrast with the lintels and beltcourses. A gable end dominates the right half of the facade, while on the left a battlemented portico leads into a slightly recessed section. The roof is slate and hipped, and the foundation is coursed rubble. It sits in a dense neighborhood of Victorian and Queen Anne buildings and was included as one of several Hannaford-designed works in a thematic group.","period_of_significance":"1890","architect_builder":"Samuel Hannaford & Sons (architect); builder unknown","architectural_style":"Eclectic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good exterior condition and used as a residence; located in a dense residential area with strong district potential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.033877-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003064.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003064/38e0f7ea02-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003064/38e0f7ea02-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HouseAt1821ChaseAve.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by Greg Hume (Greg5030)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HouseAt1821ChaseAve.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985370","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_A._Miller_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5074882"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/miller-charles-a-house-80003064/"}
