Historic Pueblo

THE J. EUCLID MILES HOUSE

The property has served as a residence since its construction in 1900 by J. Euclid Miles, who went on to become a prominent city councilman in Santa Barbara, California. The house is significant as a unique and well preserved transitional Queen Anne/Classical Revival residence. The distinctive key-hole window on the front façade with decorative stained glass is a defining feature and well preserved. The home exhibits a number of other distinctive windows and a conical porch roof. Although besides J. Euclid Miles, no other occupants are highly significant, but the well researched history strings together a complete record of  occupants with personal photos of most of the previous owners documenting the role of the home as home to Bessemer’s mid management population. Few homes are as well researched and documented as 1007 Lake Avenue.  Visit the house’s website.  Designated 5-24-2010
