This remarkable townhouse was designed by Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban. A polygonal bay window is surmounted by an ornate balustrade, and has a paneled frieze with a garland cartouche. An elaborate dormer has a keystoned arch and a central roundel. The house was built ca. 1880.
For much of the early 20th century this was the home of pharmacy owner James A. Miller and wife Marie (Wegenast) Miller. This prominent druggist owned the J. A. Miller Drug Company at 56 N. Queen St. A star magnolia flowers in front of this townhouse each spring.
