i don't think so Whitespike .the house features in classic modern & the Millers state that they like their privacy so it's unlikely to feature in any architectural tours......too bad.
Anyone know if the Girard fabric covering the tulip chairs around the (amazing) dining table is/was ever available ? don't think it's in Leslie Pina's book either.

The Indianapolis Museum of...
The Indianapolis Museum of Art has finalized a deal to acquire Eero Saarinen's Miller House in Columbus, Ind., which was commissioned by J. Irwin Miller and his wife, Xenia, in 1952. Surviving members of the Miller family, along with the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Foundation, have agreed not only to donate the property to the museum but also to fund $5 million of a planned $8-million endowment to operate and maintain it. The museum, in turn, will raise the remaining $3 million in endowment funds as well as $2 million to restore the house, which has a garden by noted modernist landscape architect Dan Kiley and interiors -- including authentic conversation pit! -- by the great Alexander Girard
