Miller Building Stuns Historian With Iron Facade Discovery
Ottawa historian Dale Watts identifies the Miller building on South Main as an iron clad 1840s to 1860s facade rare in the area. He notes rustication to resemble stone, outlines preservation challenges like missing ornate cornices and upper floors only accessible by stairs. The $6,000 survey, partly state funded, aims to back a local historic places registry.
