This house was built for Dr. Raymond Miller shortly after he bought the property in 1924. Dr. Miller was the son of C. C. Miller, one of 5 physicians who founded old Grace Hospital, Detroit. Raymond Miller used this native stone bungalow as his office and residence. Clarkston resident, Casper Warden did the stone & plaster work for this house. Previously, the porch was glassed-in and served as the patient waiting room (see photo below). The porch glass was removed and some of the windows replaced during an extensive renovation in 2009-2010. While this house dates from 1924 there was a structure here by 1872. The 1872 Map of the Village has the footprint of a square building on the property, owner R. E. Follett. There is no information now to indicate the use or appearance of the building. Reportedly the home burned.
