“It will be a Model of Beauty, Elegance and Convenience Throughout”This quote, as written in the Messenger Inquirer in the summer of 1905,described the plans for the elaborate home of Elmer and Lizzy Miller located at Fifthand Lewis (now JR Miller Blvd). In 1905, Elmer Miller obtained a mold by SearsRoebuck, and Company to make 1,800 artificial stone blocks for his home. He hauledsand for the blocks up the Ohio River during construction. Referred to as the prettiestand most conveniently arranged in the city, this 8,000 home displayed beveled glasswindows, magnificent woods, mantels with tile hearths, and a combination of electricand gas light fixtures. Beside the home, stood a carriage house erected for Elmer’selectric automobile (said to be the first in town).Elmer was a prominent business man during his time. He founded theMiller Coal and Contracting Company in the late 1880’s and expanded to transfer andhauling as well as road building. Elmer Miller laid several miles of roads in DaviessCounty. He served on the City Council and was a member of the Rotary Club and theChamber of Commerce. Lizzy Miller was a member of the Women’s Club and a leaderin Red Cross activities during WWI. Both Elmer and Lizzy Miller were very charitable.As active members of the First Christian Church, the couple donated left over stones tothe church during construction in 1905. Elmer sent many loads of coal to those in distress and otherwise helped those in need. In addition to their many contributions toOwensboro, Elmer and Lizzy Miller built a home which would later be called “A jewelof Old Owensboro”.Elmer Miller passed away in 1922 at the age of fifty-six. Lizzy Miller lived intheir home for twenty more years. Neighbors describe her as a generous woman whoalso made chicken soup and molasses pie for those who were sick in the neighborhood.In the late 1960’s and 1970’s the home was turned into several apartments and housedvarious owners and tenants. The Kentucky Heritage Commission designated the ElmerMiller House as a Kentucky Landmark under Governor John Y. Brown. Despiteon-going efforts, the house continued to deteriorate. The carriage house wascondemned and the future appeared bleak. However, the home was on the brink of arebirth.Larry and Jeanne Kirk purchased the home in 2006 and began plans forrestoring the home, as part of the up and coming downtown area. With constructionabout to get underway in the Historical District, a tornado struck Owensboro inOctober of 2007 causing extensive damage to the home. The back portion of the housewas demolished, several windows blew out, and the large tree near the front porchuprooted and landed on the second story roof. Again, the future of this historical homewas in question. Fortunately, the damage was surmountable and construction resumedfollowing repairs. Restoration continued throughout the next two years. Over a centuryafter Elmer Miller built his extraordinary home, a new era began. In an effort to restorethe “Model of Beauty, Elegance and Convenience Throughout” the Miller HouseRestaurant opened for business.We hope you enjoy your visit.ADDITIONAL SERVICESIndoor and Outdoor Event Space l Private Meeting RoomsAudio & Video EquipmentCatering l Reservations AvailableFor more detailed information, please ask for management.
