I find it amazing that Ashland University said that it would cost $6 Million to restore Miller Hall for current use. Yes, I know the building is down, but just look at what our neighbors in Mansfield are doing! They have kept the facade of a great old building in their historic district and totally rehabilitated the building for modern use. Shame on Ashland!
