Miller, Martin & Lewis Architects was a partnership of John Miller, Hugh Martin and James Lewis. Miller and Martin had met in New York City and travelled together to open the firm of Miller and Martin in the booming city of Birmingham around 1900. Lewis joined the firm in 1914.

The firm was responsible for numerous important buildings in Birmingham as well as dozens of buildings on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Miller retired in 1930. Martin retired in 1952, and Lewis died in 1958, ending the firm's long reign.
