This house at 112 East Miller St. was built in the 1830s. It was demolished in 1964. According to an article in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle of August 5, 1964 the property leveled also included the Crescent Theater. The gable end of the two-story house faced the street and had a two-story recessed wing shown at the right. Stones were a mix of water rounded and small field stones set four rows to a quoin on the front and three on the side. Some stones were set diagonally. The main part of the house had two windows up and two down with a grill-sized window centered above them in the gable which was complete with its own full sized limestone lintel and sill just as in the four other windows on the facade. The left elevation had a door with a window centered above it set toward the rear corner, otherwise no other openings on the wall. The recessed wing on the right was actually wider than the main block. It contained two (slightly smaller) windows up and a door and window centered below them. The roofline was unusual - it was basically a shed roof with a change of angle about a third of the way across the frontage, giving a slightly domed appearance. A roofed, open porch spanned the wing. For many years it was a doctor's office. Richard Palmer blog.
