Additional Comments
This structure contibutes to the significance of the Nathan Strong Park Historic District under criterion C as one of a pair of fine Italianate houses originally built as twins. See 180 E. Huron Street. The Horace Miner house has been altered from its original appearance by the addition of an Ionic order, front porch in the early 1900's and various side and rear additions of various vintages including a curious side wing that may have been intended as a porte cochere. Although not in as pristine a condition as its twin at 180 E. Huron Street, this house is stil architecturally significant.

The Miner Brothers, Horace and Henry, purchased one and one-half acre lots on Huron Street in 1869 and they divided them equally. Three years later they built identical homes side by side. The brothers were married to the Montague sisters, Luduska and Sophrina.

Henry D. Miner operated a store in Berlin which sold fruit, toys, fancy goods, notions, confectionery and willow ware. He moved to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1888 and the house then changed ownership many times before being converted into a two-family home around 1900. After that it served as a funeral home for over 30 years and it is currently an insurance agency.
