Columbus, Indiana is an unassuming town. It’s located about an hour from the capital city, Indianapolis. It’s also about the same size of Rome, Georgia. The similarities don’t end there. In Columbus, the Driftwood and Flatrock rivers converge to form the White River in a public park walkable from downtown. Local eateries and shops on Washington Street, and a number of churches are blocks from historic neighborhoods.

The Miller House, in Columbus, Indiana, is partially hidden behind a line of shrubbery. Entering the gated driveway a mostly white, single story dwelling emerges from the manicured landscape. With a carport centered on the rectangular house, the home is both impressive and unassuming. But come a little closer and the house begins to reveal itself.
