The Village That Volunteers Built
STONECARVER'S SHOP
The
Stonecarver's Shop was operated by Henry B. Miller
in the latter part of the 19th century. Miller, born
Heinrich Muller in Steinan-Hessen, Germany in 1863,
came to Naperville in 1879. He remained in Naperville
for one year before going to Lemont to cut stone,
marble and granite to develop his trade. In 1884,
he returned to Naperville and established his business. Les Schrader, historian and folk artist, with an able crew, was instrumental in the building's restoration. In restoring the building, Miller's name was discovered written on four of the walls. |
