Miller, Martin & Lewis Architects
Miller, Martin & Lewis Architects was a partnership of John Miller, Hugh Martin and James A. Lewis. Miller and Martin had met in New York City and traveled 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. In Birmingham one of their important patrons was the Robert Munger family, who commissioned several commercial buildings at Five Points South and made large donations to Birmingham-Southern College which resulted in additional work for the firm.
Miller retired in 1930. Martin retired in 1952, and Lewis died in 1958, ending the firm's long reign.
