A. J. Miller House, also known as the Miller-Hemp House, is a historic home located near Middlebrook, Augusta County, Virginia. It was built in 1884, and is a two-story, three-bay, brick dwelling in the Italianate style. It features a central Italianate entrance and tripartite second-floor window, and paired interior chimneys. The interior features a wide variety of painted decoration by itinerant artist Green Berry Jones, who signed and dated his work June 17, 1892. They include large, brightly painted landscapes; vignettes; and woodgraining and marbleizing. Also on the property are five contributing outbuildings: two barns and a granary, a carriage house and chicken house.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
