REMEMBERING J. IRWIN MILLER DVD

On August 17th, 2009, the Bartholomew County Public Library hosted a panel discussion about the late J. Irwin Miller. Mr. Miller was one of the driving forces for architecture in Columbus, beginning in the late 1940's. He and his wife, Xenia, were also great patrons of the arts, and helped bring many public pieces of sculpture to our community. This panel discussion, with input from the community, was recorded, and is being made available by the Columbus Indiana Architectural Archives. CIAA contracted Dean O'Neal to professionally record the event. Mr. O'Neal currently does work for the Associated Press, ESPN, and others.

The DVD is approximately 90 minutes in length. The cost is $18.00, plus $4.00 shipping. To purchase, click on PayPal link below :
