Residence of general miller, h. B. M. Consul, beretania street, adjoining washington place. By the testimony of old residents this building was standing as early as 1833. The earlier occupancy of these premises by charlton, also the representative of great britain, obtained for it among hawaiians the name "pelekane," which was eventually applied to the street on which it fronted. The side street, named after general miller, was so named much later as he did not arrive here till 1844. The low cottage, standing far back from the street, with its extensive lawn and branching trees give it, more than any other place here, the appearance of an english home, as in fact it was, continuously, up to 1894, when its lease was transferred by the mckibbins to liliuokalani.
