This is a classic example of the Norman French style, harkening back to medieval precedents with a semi-enclosed space with a square tower in the center. It was built for George C. Miller in 1931and has the steel casement windows that were popular in mansion-type homes of that period. These houses are on unplatted land that developed considerably later than the original Capitol Hill plats. Like 22nd Avenue E., Galer has outstanding mountain views and developed with grand houses such as this one. , 22nd Avenue developed with many fine houses like this one.
