Regarding Herbert A. Miller House.

Excerpts from the National Register nomination form:

This house was built in 1912 for Herbert H. Miller, Hickory's postmaster between March 18, 1922 and December 20, 1930. The three bay, double pile, hip roofed, "square house11" has a small hip roofed center dormer, a wraparound porch with a denticulated cornice set on slightly battered posts, and sheathing material which varies from a wood shingled sill skirt to weather, boards on the first story, and wood shingles again on the second story... Miller purchased the lot in 1912 from W. B. Councill, and owned the house until it was sold in the 1950s to Steven Leftwich.
