This is your chance to own a piece of Daviess County history! 1127 Griffith was built in 1940 by U.S. Congressman Glover Cary’s widow, who sold it to T.P. Miller, founder of TP Miller Coal Company and father to the founders of Miller Lakes and the Windy Hollow recreational facilities. The home has hosted founding Owensboro Garden Club events, wedding receptions of a Miller to a Missouri basketball legend, and the wedding and reception of the President’s brother, then Senator. Enter the two-story brick home built in the “weeping” mortar style reminiscent of Elizabethan architecture through a front entry hall. To the right is a grand living room, fireplace, and original crystal chandelier; to the left is a generous dining room with original and newly refinished hardwood floors. The kitchen and sunny breakfast room are located conveniently behind the original swing door of the dining room. A back hall and powder room complete the first floor. The finished basement is accessed through the back hall, which contains a large family room, a smaller “office space,” a generous laundry room, a work room/shop, an old-fashioned “fall-out shelter” that doubles as storage, and a back hall with a separate entrance. The second floor is accessed via a graceful staircase with an original mahogany banister. Four upstairs bedrooms have wood floor closets, and three with wood shutter blinds. Two original retro tile bathrooms are completed upstairs. Outside, the back porch and ample carport lead to brick patios, perennial beds, a large lawn, and a full-sized garage/shop with water and electricity that could easily be transformed into a “man-cave” or “she-shack.” Additionally, a family wishing to expand the house could efficiently utilize the carport roof and level footprint to create a unique and cost-effective addition to the rear.
