The house was built by carpenter Earl W. Teter for a miller named Miles Hayes (1856-1925)[3] and was preceded on the property by a less impressive house. Hayes had the earlier house moved to another location on his property. The new house's side porch faced his grain mill, and allowed him to oversee operations at the mill.[4] From 1970 to 2003 it was owned by the Altamont Fair, to be maintained as a museum. It is again privately owned. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
