Lincoln, Nebraska, 1913-1961

Page under construction

Jesse Boaz Miller was born near Wahoo, Nebraska in 1880. He received his advanced education at Nebraska Wesleyan University (1903-1904), the University of Nebraska (1904-1905), and the University of Illinois (1906-1907). In 1907, upon his return from the University of Illinois, Miller was engaged as a draftsman with the firm, Fiske & Dieman, Architects, continuing to work for Fiske until 1913 when he became Fiske's junior partner as Fiske & Miller, Architects. The partnership was dissolved in 1914 and Miller began to practice independently. In May of 1924, Mr. Miller went into partnership with Fritz Craig. Miller died in 1968.[1]

Notes

a. His own home, this is Miller's first known design project. J. B. Miller applied for the building permit for this house in March, 1909, identifying himself as both property owner and architect. According to Lincoln city directories, Miller and his family occupied the home from 1910 to 1922. In the early years of their residency, the directories identified Miller as a draftsman for F. C. Fiske; not until 1914 was their brief partnership as Fiske & Miller noted.

b. An entry on Jesse Boaz Miller in Who's Who in Lincoln of 1928 declares with specificity that after serving as a draftsman in Fiske's office from the spring of 1907 until March 1913, Miller became the junior partner in Fiske & Miller until September 1, 1915, when he began an independent practice. However, Fiske published a notice in a Lincoln newspaper of September 7, 1914 that the "co-partnership" of Fiske & Miller "is here hereby dissolved by mutual consent." Furthermore, Fiske announced a new firm with Harry Meginnis in January 1915, supporting the more limited span of the Fiske & Miller association.[1][10][14]]

c. In 1919, Miller designed the first stage of construction--the lower three floors--of what became a six-story building in 1927, when Davis & Wilson, Architects added the upper stories for Hardy Furniture Company.

d. The City of Lincoln Building Permit and building permit application (both #6159) are in conflict as to the specific parcel involved, the latter saying Lot 4 of Block 217, Original Plat of Lincoln, and the former indicating Lot 3. Lot 4 contains a brick duplex and Lot 3 a frame house, so it seems likely an error on the application was corrected on the permit, and that "Miller" designed the brick building.[26]

e. The Sunday State Journal of March 28, 1915 includes a fine perspective drawing and lengthy description of Miller's "Plans...for the erection of a new Phi Kappa Psi house at Sixteenth and S streets." The building shown "follows somewhat after the style of the English (Elizabethan) renaissance," and both interior and exterior features are described. However, when building permit #7003 to house that chapter on that site was issued in 1917, a colonial revival design by A. H. Welch of Columbia, Missouri was erected rather than Miller's design. In the 1920s, Miller and his partner Fritz Craig designed about a dozen of the chapter houses in Greek Row Historic District.[34]

f. The website of Crowell Memorial Home lists among "Important Dates" that in 1919, "Carriage house north of Mansion renovated, adding additional space to the house. American Contractor described the project as "Crowell Memorial Home: $17,000, 3 sty. & bas. 32x72.[80][81]

g. American Contractor of November 13, 1920 noted J. B. Miller as the architect of a $250,000 proposed fireproof warehouse and cold storage plant for Gunn Douglas Milk Products Co., with the address listed as 810 S. 24th Street, but also noted "Bldg. postponed until spring." It does not appear that a dairy plant of that substantial cost was ever erected on the southeast corner of Randolph and 24th Streets, and the Lincoln Evening Journal by mid-1923 was carrying classified advertisements for the "Bankruptcy Sale" of Gunn-Douglas real estate in Lincoln.[82][83]
