G. H. MILLER, architect, Bloomington There are few people who thoroughly understand the advantages to be gained by employing a first-class architect when they design erecting new buildings. He is a native of McLean Co.; was born in 1856, and learned the trade of an architect with Mr. R. Richter; in 1874, he spent some time working at his trade in Columbus, Ohio, and, in 1875, went to Chicago, where he spent one year as a draughtsman; he then returned to Bloomington, where he has since been engaged in business. His office is with the Bloomington Chair Manufacturing Company; he has on exhibition some very fine pencil work, among which is the new City Hall building and several prominent buildings of Bloomington.
