The record identifies this glass negative as the former home of Joaquin Miller, the poet whose verse about the Sierras and the American West made him known as the "Poet of the Sierras." Miller, who grew up in Oregon and spent years in California, is linked here to a Washington, D.C., house. The Bain News Service, a press photography agency, made the negative as part of its work documenting the city and its people in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact year and the house's history should be checked before being relied on.
