720 Portage Avenue

  • Date: unknown
  • Style: Queen Anne
  • District: Chapin Park
  • Rating: Notable

Formerly known as 620 and 712 Portage, the home of John Shetterley once stood on a part of this property. Anne and Ryell Miller, lived here from at least 1883 until 1901. Ryell dabbled in many professions, including dentistry, floral sales, law, and real estate development. Records are unclear regarding the construction date of the existing Queen Anne house. It may have been built between 1901 and 1903, or in 1907; however, city directories do not list 720 Portage until 1925.
