Steeped in history and intrigue, this home has been lovingly maintained by one family since 1978. The more than 2 acres was pieced together by Mr. Silversteen in the 1930's just down the hill from his own mansion and bordering what used to be Franklin Lake. He gave the land to Mirium to build her home with her first husband, Albert Kyle, in the year 1940. Albert was an photographer and the small bedroom/office, walk through closet and bedroom facing Franklin Park was his studio and darkroom for his work. Mirium was a competitive bridge player and a member of the DAR (Daughter's of the American Revolution); so the downstairs spacious living space reflected her desire to host bridge events and meetings. After divorcing Albert Kyle, Mirium married Alfred Weiss in the 1950's. They did extensive remodeling of the home, including changing the front of the house to face the park. There is a the large "W" on the railing at the front of the house to reflect the Weiss name. Ray Garner purchased the home in the mid-70's and refurbished the home. He then sold it to Adelaide and Harvey Miller in 1978. Over the years, they strove to maintain the original intent of the home through updates and maintenance. The home has easily accommodated recitals, fund raisers, large families and receptions.
