Miller designed the Queen Anne house; it is Miller's only design in Pana. A round tower with a Palladian window rises above the house's front entrance, which is located in a full-length porch. A second, octagonal tower extends above the roof line on the east side of the house. The second story and both towers are sided with patterned shingles. The house has a multi-component roof with a main gabled section and a cross gable in the back.[2]
