Philip Amiss House, 14847 Lee Highway
This house was built by Philip Newport Amiss. He had two
wives who were sisters, Polly and Edna Bayse. (Remember, Amissville
was almost named Baseyville, after the Bayse family.) He married
the second sister after the first sister died. Their graves were
marked by a fieldstone engraved "PA." When the house was
moved from Lee Highway it was placed directly over the cemetery.
Later owners included Singleton and Silvey. The house is currently
owned by Steve and Victoria Miller.
