The Harmon Miller House, also known as Brookbound, is located on NY 23/9H on the south edge of Claverack, New York, United States. It is a wooden house on a medium-sized farm built in the 1870s.
It is one of the few buildings in the Second Empire architectural style in the Claverack area. In 1997 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The house is on the west side of the highway. It is on a small rise surrounded by trees in the middle of 42 acres (17 ha) of fields and meadows. Claverack Creek is on the south. Across the highway are some other homes; the center of Claverack is to the north. In addition to the house there is a small carriage barn to the south.
The house itself is a two-and-a-half-story, five-by-two-bay frame building on a brick foundation with a mansard roof covered in slate with an overhanging bracketed eave. A one-and-a-half-story side wing wraps around the south and west sides of the building.
On the east (front) facade, the main entrance is centrally located. Wood steps with a balustrade lead up to it, and consoles support a small sheltering hood. Above it is a double window with similar treatment. All the windows have cornices – molded and flat on the first story, rounded on the second. The roof has three arched dormer windows, with the central one having a pair of windows.
