In 1912, the White House was occupied by a jovial former judge from Ohio, William Howard Taft. Newfangled flying machines called "aeroplanes", invented just nine years previously, were still such a novelty that Americans looked up whenever one passed overhead. Washington's verdant parks were filled on summer Sunday afternoons with ladies fashionably attired in ankle-length hobble skirts and gentlemen sporting straw boater hats. And two Washington brothers, William C. and Allison N. Miller, built two houses on Kenyon Street, NW on a parcel of land given to them by their mother.

In 2002, the second George Bush is in the White House. Travelers streak across the country in huge jets at hundreds of miles per hour. The streets of Washington and the surrounding suburbs are filled with people hurrying to work. And the business started by the Miller boys 90 years ago is still going strong as the premier real estate company in the nation's capital. W.C. & A.N. Miller Companies has grown into Washington's premier real estate services company, dedicated to exceeding the expectations of each and every one of its customers. Through two World Wars, the Great Depression and several smaller recessions, and the upheavals of the present day, the company remains true to the winning formula laid down by the founders in 1912: meeting the needs of its customers.
