Price-Miller House, Historical residence in Hagerstown, Maryland.
The Price-Miller House is a two-and-a-half-story brick residence in Hagerstown featuring Neoclassical architecture and a substantial stone foundation. The building now operates as a museum presenting exhibits about local history and the development of Washington County.
William Price, a United States Attorney under President Lincoln, built the house between 1824 and 1825. The Neill family later occupied it for generations, with members who became prominent lawyers and civic leaders in the area.
The house serves as a museum where visitors can see how prominent local families lived and organized their homes. The rooms reveal the daily routines and social status that shaped life in Washington County during the 1800s.
The museum is located on West Washington Street and is easily accessible on foot from downtown areas. The rooms are well-labeled and easy to navigate, allowing visitors to explore the exhibits at their own pace without difficulty.
The residence housed lawyers and a bank president across multiple generations of the same family, reflecting their importance to the community. This multi-generational occupancy shows how a single house could be central to the social and professional networks of a town.
