Scope and content
Edward Miller of Miller Construction Co. opened this beautiful two-story cut stone and wood home for public viewing in June, 1953. Situated close to the entrance of Skyline Terrace, the home offered superb views of the Narrows Bridge and Narrows. Built-ins were almost too numerous to mention, including TV's and radios, bathroom heaters, electric range & grill, napkin and tissue holders, bathroom scales and even bathroom magazine racks and toothbrush holders. Children would have a separate children's combination sleeping and play area, bathroom and their own television and radio. Additional amenities would include an intercom system, automatic garage door opener, kitchen BBQ, wall-to-wall carpeting in living areas with cork hallways, indirect lighting and thermopane windows. Miller Construction, who designed their own projects, stated that they were combining the best ideas of local building in this "Skyliner" model. Photograph ordered by Llewellyn Advertising Agency.
