Regarding Christian Miller House. National Register Statement of Significance excerpt:
The Christian Miller House derives its significance from its embodiment of the Victorian Italianate style of architecture, a design mode which flourished in America during much of the last half of the nineteenth century. In Punxsutawney, however, the Italianate style is barely represented at all, either in residential or commercial architecture. The community's major growth began in the latter years of the nineteenth and early in the twentieth century, when this particular architectural style had fallen from fashion.
