Millers

Miller Collection

c. 1950

This fall image shows the north wall and a portion of the east end of the log house at left foreground built by Matanuska Colonists Joe and Blanch Puhl in 1935 and purchased by Neil and Margaret Miller in 1946. To the right of the house stands the wellhouse with its east and north walls clad in white siding, a window in the east side and wood stacked against the north end. Two sawhorses stand before the wellhouse. Above the wellhouse is seen a tall power pole with wires leading to the house, wellhouse and barn, and sporting a yard light near the top. Four young leafless birch trees, planted by the Puhl's, line the driveway from near left diagonally toward the wellhouse. Gently rising grain fields are visible in background with the peak of the neighboring Colony house just visible above the crest of the hill. A thin line of heavy forest lines the crest of the hill in background.
