Joaquin Miller House, Victorian house in Oakland Hills, US

The Joaquin Miller House is a Victorian residence in the Oakland Hills featuring three connected rooms beneath gabled roofs with broad eaves. The historic structure sits on 14 acres within Joaquin Miller Park, surrounded by additional monuments that Miller created on the property.

The structure was built in 1886 by poet Joaquin Miller and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, recognizing Miller's contributions to literature and local cultural history.

Miller named the house "The Abbey", likely after his third wife Abigail and Lord Byron's Newstead Abbey. He hosted the young Jack London and Frank Norris there. From 1894 the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi lived in the adjoining cabin, working as a labourer for room and board, and published his first book, Seen or Unseen; or, Monologues of a Homeless Snail, during that stay.

The house stands at the northwest corner of the western junction of Joaquin Miller Road and Sanborn Drive, the park's main circulating road, on the southern edge of Joaquin Miller Park. The landmarked area covers 14 acres and holds the house plus Miller's monuments, so allow time to walk between them. The site is in the Oakland Hills, where paths climb and descend.

Miller constructed a funeral pyre on the property intended for his own cremation, reflecting his unconventional views on life and death. This personal choice demonstrates his rebellious spirit and rejection of social conventions.
