Miller-Fish Building
circa 1887
In this block, early settler Charles A Miller owned a hay & grain store, livery stable, and buggy & carriage shop. All fell to the flames of the 1886 fire. Miller was among the first to rebuild, erecting the two-story brick building you see today. Here, he operated a dry goods store and served as the agent for the Clyde Steamship Company. In 1899, he opened Miller Hardware Co. which he operated for 26 years. In 1925, Bert Fish, a prominent local attorney and political figure who rose to become Minister to Egypt and then Portugal, acquired the building from Miller for $150,000.
Marker is at the intersection of North Woodland Boulevard (U.S. 17/92) and New York Avenue (State Road 44), on the right when traveling south on North Woodland Boulevard.
