The ‘Miller Building’ mystery is solved
Ihave had people calling me regarding the sign that had been added in front of the Harris Hollow Foods building on Main Street. One person who was out of state called me and asked me why it was called The Miller Building? I told him I wasn’t sure, but I would try to nd out. To make a long story short, I thought I would do a little snooping around and see if I could solve the mystery.
As I was o en told by a good friend, make sure that you get your facts straight from the horse's mouth.
So this past Friday, I called H.B. Wood, the building’s owner. I thought if anyone would know, H.B. would. He was so kind as to tell me a little history of the building. He said that W. Arthur Miller had built the building, and that Stu Willis and Eve Willis, daughter of Arthur Miller had always referred it to the Miller Building over the years. Douglas Baumgardner purchased the building in 1982 for his law o ce and he always referred to it as The Miller Building as well.
So the mystery was nally solved and I called the people that wanted to know why it was called that name.
Thanks H.B. Wood for the little history of the building. By the way, the other three interested people said that it was a beautiful building and sign.
