The Henry F. Miller house in Orange, Connecticut is on the United States National Register of Historic Places. The house was designed and built in 1948-1949 by Henry F. Miller as a thesis project for a Master of Architecture at Yale University. The house was featured in the New Haven Register as "The House of Tomorrow" and was open to visitors for a few weeks after completion to raise funds for the New Haven Boy's Club. It was viewed with "wild anticipation," and about 25,000 people paid a small admission to see it.[2] It is an example of the international style of architecture, with a flat roof movable walls, and was designed to take full advantage of its unique site on the side of a hill.[3]
