The house was built for Frederick A. Miller, president of the H.C. Godman Co., the city's first and largest shoe manufacturer. At the time of its construction, he was the vice president and general manager of that company, co-founded by his father. Miller died in 1945, and his wife remarried, rarely used the house while living in New York, and sold it in 1950. From that year until 1983, the Monastery of Discalced Carmelite Nuns owned and occupied the building; afterward it became a private residence once again.[2]
