At 116118 Way Road in Middlefield is a Greek Revival-style house, originally erected circa 1846 as a two-family house by Watrous I. Miller (1822-1885) and William P. Abel (1811-1848), on land the former had acquired from his father Jeremiah the year before. In 1846 Watrous sold the property to his brother Isaac W. Miller (1819-1891), with Abel (who was Watrous and Isaac’s brother-in-law) retaining a half interest in the house. The western wing of the house may have functioned as a tin shop used by Isaac, who was a tinsmith.
