Miller's House, Millwood, VA
**Millwood Commercial Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 05001624, date listed 1/31/2006
Parts of Millwood Rd. and Tannery Ln.
Millwood, VA (Clarke County)
Millwood is a small village located in south central Clarke County in the Lower Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It developed in the late 1780s around the newly constructed Burwell-Morgan Mill, one of the largest merchant mills in the area at that time. The mill's location, along Spout Run, at the intersection of several colonial roads, and near the Shenandoah River, made it a very profitable commercial enterprise that spawned other types of commercial endeavors in the area immediately surrounding it.
The district boundaries include buildings in close proximity to the mill that were constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries and supported commercial activity in the community. This collection of buildings represents the commercial core of the village during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Directly south of the mill, at 43 Tannery Lane, is the building that is known as the miller's house, which has significant associations with the mill. The rear section of this vernacular frame dwelling appears to be the oldest, dating to ca. 1830 and now acts as a rear ell. (pg 6) (1)
