Sundell M. Jaffe House – 3301 Jackson St.
Built in 1919, this home was constructed for Sundell Jaffe, President of the National Loan Company. The tall 2-story front entry makes this home an odd representation of the Neoclassical architectural style. During the early 1950’s local attorney Jack Miller and his family resided here. Miller went on to serve as a U. S. Senator between 1961 and 1973.
