" . . . residents, and Miller Park figures prominently into the 1984 National Register designation. We're also doing this for Franklin's economic sustainability and property values. All boats rise when pushing tourism,' said Mason.
"The Park's problems include deteriorating roadways, water systems and an old stone bridge.
"The residents have also been advocating for the reopening of Plumer Ave., which the city closed [five] years ago rather than doing costly repairs. [See image # 649.]
"The MPCC has also expressed disappointment that the historic stone retaining wall, between 16th St. & Parkway, was replaced with a concrete structure. [See image # 763.] The stones were given to the contractor, instead of reattaching them to the new concrete wall and thereby preserving its historic integrity.
"Surprisingly, there is also a city park [See images 529 & 530, and 534 & 535.], although it's basically just a half acre of grass and a couple of giant trees. This might present a wonderful opportunity to recreate one of the epic gardens of olde.
"Also, it would be a great place for a General Miller Memorial.
"Currently, there is no tribute to Miller's philanthropy towards his adopted home of Franklin, Pennsylvania."
