Mill-Rae is a Shingle style house in Philadelphia, designed by architect Minerva Parker Nichols and completed in 1890. The residence exemplifies the distinctive aesthetic of late nineteenth-century American domestic architecture, characterized by its predominant use of wood shingles as exterior cladding. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house represents an important example of Nichols's work during a period when few women practiced architecture in the United States.
