Summary edit

Description
English: The Red Mill House, 60 East Spring Street, Williamsville, New York, August 2020. A fine example of the vernacular late-period Greek Revival style of architecture that was popular in small-town America during the era of its construction - the cornice returns on the side-gabled roof, the multi-pane sash windows, and the fenestration pattern all attest to the aesthetic, and State Division for Historic Preservation records indicate that the fourteen interior rooms of the house retained their original Greek Revival detailing up through 1976 (the date found on its inventory form filed with the New York State Parks and Recreation Department's Division for Historic Preservation), and given its 2005 nomination as a locally-listed historic landmark by the village's Historic Preservation Commission and its subsequent historically-sensitive restoration, that's most likely still the case. The house has a history that's inextricably linked with that of the adjacent Williamsville Water Mill: it was constructed about 1840 as a home for the miller (John Steele King, born 1804, died between 1870 and '80) and his family and was later used as offices, including that of Edward Miller, who served for a time as New York State Justice of the Peace. It was originally located immediately adjacent to the mill itself - in front of the building on the Spring Street side - but was moved to its present location some time before 1866.
