The Stone House that exists today was built in several stages. Originally, a two-story log house stood on the site. It is believed the stone kitchen was added to the rear of this log house sometime in the late 1700’s. In 1808, using locally quarried sandstone, James Miller added a two-story addition to the log house. This addition seemed to meet the needs of the Miller family until 1830, when James’ son Oliver and new bride, Mary Wilson Miller, came to live with them. At this time the log house was replaced with the largest stone section, making it the farmhouse that stands today.
The stone spring house on the site is also an original building. The spring is still flowing through it today.
Five generations of Millers lived on this homestead until Allegheny County purchased it and surrounding farms in 1927 to form Allegheny County’s South Park.
The Oliver Miller Homestead is owned by the Allegheny County Parks Department but operated by the Oliver Miller Homestead Associates. This all volunteer group maintains the site and its buildings. They also plan and fund the programs through a special agreement with Allegheny County.
