George H. Miller (architect, born 1856)

Miller spent almost his entire life in Bloomington, learning the architecture trade through local firm Richter & Bunting.

When he was fifteen years old, Miller started to work for Richter & Bunting, one of the few architectural firms in Bloomington at the time.

In 1874, Miller studied with John T. Harris in Columbus, Ohio, then went to Chicago to work as a draftsman for Fredrick & Edward Bauman.

Miller was in high demand after the Great Fire of 1900, which destroyed most of the Central Business District.

He served terms as city treasurer, alderman, and chancellor of the local Knights of Pythias chapter.
