Oberlin councilman sparks rhubarb over civic center site
Oberlin City Council member Andrew Stofan spurred debate on housing city offices in Hall Auditorium or the new Oberlin Inn. Historical records from 1916 show a town hall sale to Oberlin College and a 20 000 bid for hall and site, with the signed King pledge to provide permanent quarters. The dispute centers on whether the Civic Center was meant to house village and township offices, as referenced by Henry Churchill King. Council referred the matter to City Solicitor Robert Fayver after debate.
