 Built: 1902
Architect: Robert Russell
Style: Romanesque
This striking residence was home to Byron L. Miller, a banker and realtor, until 1948 when ownership changed to Talbert Bartholomew, a railroad worker.
After a period of serving as a boarding house, the house was purchased in the early 1970s by the current owners and returned to single-family use.
This corner-lot house stands out as much for its building materials as its design. The austerity of its rusticated gray limestone blocks are offset by red sandstone detailing surrounding the narrow arched windows, creating a fine visual balance.  A widow's walk atop the house gives a commanding view of the surrounding neighborhood and two gargoyles are ever at their post to overlook the goings-on on High Street.
