Prior to the early 1780s, the grist miller lived in rooms in the grist mill. In 1782, the Moravian Congregation authorized the building of a separate house (limestone portion). It contained a kitchen, one large room, and a cellar.

In 1834, a 1-1/2 story brick addition enlarged the structure for the miller and his family.

When the adjacent Luckenbach Mill caught fire on January 27, 1869, firemen were able to save the miller's house as well as the nearby dye house. The miller's house remained a residence until the late 1970s.
