Miller designed the Queen Anne house; it is Miller's only design in Pana. A round tower with a Palladian window rises above the house's front entrance, which is located in a full-length porch. A second, octagonal tower extends above the roof line on the east side of the house. The second story and both towers are sided with patterned shingles. The house has a multi-component roof with a main gabled section and a cross gable in the back. [2]

The Queen Anne features eleven stained glass windows and several jeweled stained glass doors. It is the only home in Christian County that is on the National Register of Historic Places.[ citation needed ]

In addition, the home has three fireplaces adorned with mirrors and hand carved mantels. The hardwood floors throughout reflect various patterns inlaid with different hard woods.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1995. [1]
