Comments

These properties were my family’s home/ business: Miller. Located corner of Rt 616 (Seven Valleys-Glen Rock Rd) & Shaffer’s Church Rd. Garages were owned by and the business of ‘Tiny’ Miller: ‘Harry A. Miller Jr New & Used Cars.’. Business ran from late 40s or early 50s to his passing in 1969. Tiny sold cars, did towing and auto painting and employed mechanics. He had a reputation of being friendly, honest & generous. The lower smaller garage was the original with the larger added later. Antique cars were displayed in the glass-fronted top level. Tiny’s widow Cora rented garages to various businesses after 1970. Smaller garage was torn down in ‘80s. Large garage remains and is now a residence. Always interested in stories and memorabilia from my Dad’s business as I am his only child and he passed when I was young. -Felecia Miller Lundgren. // Home to the right of picture was built by Harry A Miller Sr & wife Sadie. Son Harry Jr (aka Tiny) was raised there. The home was a rental from early 70s to 80s. Felecia Miller (grandaughter) & 1st husband Galen Bortner owned it in early 1980s, then sold to a non-family member when they built a new home to left (south side) of garages, further up the hill in 1986. (That home was sold 1996.) That home was the only home on the lane but now there are three homes accessible from lane officially now Tree Top Ln.
