Harvey Miller was interviewed at Reynolda House by Lu Ann Jones for the Reynolda Oral History Project. Harvey grew up in Five Row after his parents Henry and Mamie Miller moved to the estate in 1922. Henry Miller worked on the farm, primarily as a mule teamster. Educated at the Five Row school, Harvey started out doing odd jobs on the estate–helping out at the garage, caddying on the golf course. He eventually trained under John Carter to become the butler for the Babcock family. He worked at Reynolda and at the Babcock’s home in Greenwich, Connecticut. Harvey continued to work at Reynolda after it became a museum for American art. Harvey retired in 1982. During his interview, Harvey discusses growing up in Five Row and what it was like to work for the Reynolds and Babcock families. Reflecting on working for the Babcocks, Harvey Miller said, “She [Mary] didn’t say ‘my servants,’ it was her ‘staff.’ They didn’t tell you to do so-and-so, they asked you. And said thank you…they had respect for us and we had respect for them; I’ll put it that way.”
