Thomas Miller, a Quaker millwright, built it with his three daughters from native Potsdam sandstone.","why_significant":"The house is tied to the Quaker Union, an early Quaker settlement active from 1787 to 1840, and is one of the few surviving buildings from it. It is also an excellent example of early-19th century vernacular residential architecture. Its stonework varies in size, color and shape more than other local examples, and it keeps much of its original interior and exterior.","narrative":"Built in 1822 by Thomas Miller, a Quaker millwright, with help from his three daughters, this one-and-one-half story house sits on a knoll along Hallock Hill Road in AuSable, Clinton County. Its walls are native Potsdam sandstone in browns, oranges and pinks, laid in irregular and square blocks of many sizes. A faux fanlight of red-orange stone with a starburst effect tops the front door. Inside, original pine flooring, moldings, paneled doors and an unusual pair of east-room fireplaces survive. The house was part of the Quaker Union, a settlement active from 1787 to 1840 that included stone residences, a school, meeting houses and a cemetery. Few of those buildings remain, and this is the one that kept its integrity. The property includes 80 acres, barn foundations and stone walls. Restoration starting in 1996 replaced the roof, reopened the center stairway and repaired the fireplaces, returning the house to its early appearance.","period_of_significance":"1822-1888","architect_builder":"Thomas Miller","architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Restoration toward its 1822 appearance began in 1996 after the building had been vacant for four years; before that it was used for about 30 years as a summer camp.
