Unique Stone Features and Architecture The Miller Homestead is situated on a knoll and coupled with the visual qualities of it's stonework, projects an air of distiction as one approaches it up the Hallock Hill Road past a long stretch of woods and the remains of a stone wall lining the road. All electric service to the house is underground so the house appears to be from an era before such modern conveniences were available. The building glistens with a unique variety of sizes, colors, and shapes of stone. Stones range in color from browns and orange to pink/reddish, and in size from small chinks to huge block, three foot by three foot in some places. The shapes vary from irregular jagged stones to neat square blocks and no two stones are the same. Potsdam sandstone is noted to have a lot of quartzite embedded in the stone which adds to its unique color and quality.
