    While the world moved forward in technology, Edgar Miller continued to throw himself into the original craftsman skills. He was a fine painter, master woodcarver, and one of America's top stained glass designers. Named "Chicago's Forgotten Renaissance Man," Miller's skill and talent were lauded in his time; he is now overlooked as his art was meant to hang in the homes he created, rather than in museums. The homes still exist, amazingly, and while they have changed a bit over time, much of Miller's laborings and spirit of honesty and beauty in craftsmanship remains.
