Scope and content
A massive stone fireplace seems to be the focus point in this Miller Construction Co. model home located in Skyline Terrace. Comfortably padded sofas and chair face the fireplace; the area is brightly lit with numerous lamps and overhead lighting. The flooring appears to be tiled to make housekeeping easier. Folding doors separate the main living room from a casual eating area. This Lenore Dr. residence was named Idea Home of the Year; it was designed by Cleveland architects Robert A. Little & Associates and featured in the September, 1954, Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Miller Construction cordially invited interested residents to tour the model home to gather ideas on modern home living. (TNT 9-19-54, E-7)
