Oldie but Goodie

For this University to be so DAMN OLD, I'm very surprised one of the oldest building is still standing in its original columns. After class last week, we took a mini adventure into Miller Hall-- a once operating residence hall named after the school's first President. 

Being exposed to the older buildings on our campus really shows how much history is left behind. Just by going through simple dorm records or fines, we learned that SC State's culture is much deeper than the surface.

I've walked by Miller Hall for two years, and I didn't stop to think what the building was used for or how long its been unoccupied. Recently, renovations have been made to buildings on the campus but Miller Hall in particular has been left untouched. 

On "The Living New Deal" website, there are details that feature who designed Miller Hall, the year it's construction was completed, as well as who funded the project. Check it out here : Living New Deal - Miller Hall

While on our quest, we came across several unique findings. There was plenty of furniture, documents that identified older students, as well as yearbooks dating back 25 plus years! Despite the massive amounts of dust and thinning paint which restricted my respiratory functioning, I enjoyed the trip inside Miller Hall.
