Miller House, Châteauesque mansion in Kalorama, Washington D.C., US.
The Miller House features maritime decorations throughout its stone exterior, including detailed carvings and a distinctive ship's cat sculpture on the rooftop.
Commander Frederick Augustus Miller commissioned architect Paul J. Pelz to design this residence in 1901, incorporating his naval background into architectural elements.
During the 1920s, the residence served as a diplomatic center, housing both Costa Rican and Salvadorean diplomatic missions between 1923 and 1926.
The property contains the first automobile garage built in Washington D.C., initially constructed to accommodate an electric vehicle of that era.
Following a severe fire in 1984, the exterior structure remained intact while the interior underwent complete reconstruction, earning a Historic Preservation Award.
