Built 1875

The W.E. Miller House is an early example of English-inspired architecture. It features half timbering on the second floor and roof dormers, projecting bay windows and an ornate front entrance. The first floor is covered with horizontal wood siding. The house was originally a Gothic Revival style but Miller remodeled the house sometime after 1895 to its current Tudor style. Mr Miller served as Director of the National Bank of Elyria. He also served as Safety Service Director for the City of Elyria under Mayor Thomas Folger. Mr Miller passed away in 1909. In 1913 the Elyria YWCA purchased the former Miller property, a beautiful mansion on West Avenue, as its residence hall.  The "Old Barn" behind the house was used for meetings and dances until it was replaced by Holly Hall in 1952.
