Miller Imaging serving Austin since 1920
Since our beginning in 1920, we have been known for blueprints - That has never changed. Artwork – again, interesting how that has come full circle!
Miller Blueprint opened on Congress Avenue in 1920, when blueprints were a wet process. The prints literally hung over Congress Avenue on a clothesline! The second home of Miller Blueprint is this building located steps away from Congress Avenue on East 10th Street. We remained here until the 1969 move to 501 West 6th Street. (You may’ve seen the social post of the original neon sign with the woman briskly walking up the hill on 10th Steet in her plaid cape and heels – same building, different storefront!)
In this early version we evidently sold typewriters and later moved on to the Friden-Alcatel calculators… cutting edge 50-lb metal boxes with keys and handles to pull! This image made for a great Throw Back Thursday pic.
