The Landmarks Preservation Commission designates the Ebenezer Miller House
The Commission designated 33 Harrison Street a landmark on May 13, 1969. It described a two-and-a-half story Flemish bond brick house whose upper stories keep their Federal character. The report counted it among nine houses that preserve a late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century scale found nowhere else in the city.
“33 Harrison Street is a fine early Federal house, that it makes a clear statement of refined proportion and harmony…”
