Looking Good for When the Museum Reopened!

Last fall the Muller House Museum exterior was repainted. This photo shows off the new paint and also the porch area that was restored in 2019 through the generous help of a historic preservation grant received through the sponsorship of the Point Vicente Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The beige exterior and white trim were also used in much earlier decades when the Muller family resided in the house at its location on 19th Street and Grand Avenue. 


Muller House Porch and Flagpole Project Update

We’ are happy to announce that the restoration work on the Muller House Museum porch decking, rails, banisters, and flagpole is almost complete. A few items remain to be done: some finish sanding and top-coat painting of the porch, and the eventual hoisting of the flags on the beautifully refinished flagpole. The latest newsletter posted on this website describes some of the extraordinary work that went into the project. As our new website takes shape, we will post photos of the project but hope that you will come visit us soon to see for yourself. Funding for this project was made possible through the sponsorship of the Point Vicente Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. We are extremely grateful to this organization for their generosity and commitment to historic preservation throughout the country.
Mona Dallas Reddick, President SPBHS

Thank You National Society Daughters of the American Revlolution



With Gratitude


Grant funding through sponsorship of the Point Vicente Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution moves the Muller House porch and flagpole project towards completion.
