Miller-Kite House

Stonewall Jackson's Civil War Headquarters

On April 9, 1984, Mary E. Kite and J. Hiram Kite donated the Miller-Kite House to the Town of Elkton.  The house was built in 1827 by Henry Miller, Jr. a grandson of Adam Miller, the first settler in this part of the Shenandoah Valley.  The plan and construction of the house give a rich statement of the social and cultural history of the habitants.  The architectural quality of the house is representative of the Shenandoah Valley architect-builders of the early nineteenth century.  It is known that Henry Miller engaged Samuel Gibbons to do the joiners and carpenters work.  The unique brick cornice, the masonry flemish bond, the delicate carving of mantels, trim and stair rails, all bespeak a pride which was prevalent in the fine yet simple houses of the early settlers.
