What Could Have Been Done With The A.N. Myers Home


The conflict on whether to tear down the A.N. Myers Home in the Center Street Historic District tested the bonds of friendship in our community. So many people made so many great suggestions on both sides of the issue, but the fact remains that the building was torn down by the Ashland County Historical Society with no purpose. The lot still stands vacant today even though the director at the time insisted they needed storage and display space.
This is my opportunity to lay out a preservation plan that the Ashland County Historical Society could have used but the director and board at the time had no interest in preserving the A.N. Myers Home on its original lot or elsewhere. I do believe that if this issue came up today, the outcome would be different because of some of the different leadership in the Ashland County Historical Society.
