History and description
The Miller's House was one of the early private, family homes and the first separate residence for the master of a trade constructed after the end of Bethlehem's General Economy in the 1760s. Situated adjacent to the Luckenbach Mill, which was erected in 1869, the home allowed the miller to live close to the mill, where he was responsible for grinding grain into flour. It served as a home until the 1970s and currently awaits restoration.

The Gristmiller's House is presently under the care of Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

While the building is not currently open to the public, visitors can enjoy the Miller's House Garden, planted on a Germanic four-square pattern from 1870. The garden includes native plants such as a variety of vintage roses and herbs, and is maintained by the Bethlehem Garden Club.
