William Starr Miller II

William Starr Miller II (October 26, 1856 – September 14, 1935) was a prominent New York industrialist and real estate operator.

He was a son of George Norton Miller I (1805–1891)[2] and Sarah Caroline Tucker (née Chace) (1832–1872),[3] who were married on October 9, 1855 in Boston, Massachusetts.

[1] Miller commissioned his brother-in-law, Whitney Warren, a partner in Warren and Wetmore, to design them a French Norman-style "cottage" in Newport, Rhode Island named High Tide, with interiors by noted designer Ogden Codman.

They turned to architects Carrère and Hastings, however, for their New York City residence at 1048 Fifth Avenue, in Manhattan.

[1] Miller, his wife, his parents, and several of his other close relatives are all buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
