One of the finest and best known examples of Pennsylvania-Germanic architecture of the Colonial era to become available for public auction was held October 28, 2017 by Conestoga Auctions at Millbach, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. It is known as the House of Miller at Millbach and is owned by the Millbach Foundation run by Earle (Chip) and Yvonne Henderson, the same owners who restored the nearby Charming Forge twelve miles away which is currently for sale.George Miller deeded the house, mill, and 144 acres to his son Michael (1732-1815) in 1753. Michael took over the ownership of Millbach at the age of 21. He is the one who added the gristmill to the house in 1784 and expanded the house for his mother's living quarters. He also added a sawmill in 1777. He became one of he wealthiest men in the area.
