Could there be a new purpose for a house near the YSU campus that was saved from the wrecking ball?
At one time, the old house was a local dentist's office. It was actually moved down Lincoln Avenue to make way for the College of Education.
Now, the University is looking to see if the old house could be converted for use by students in the Criminal Justice program, but a lot of work would have to be done first.
"From what I understand, there's no electricity to the house," said University spokesperson Ron Cole. "I don't think there's any plumbing. I'm not really sure, but there would have to be significant work to the house to be able to use it in any way."
Cole adds discussions about the house are in the very preliminary stages, and it's too soon to tell what it would be used for in the future.
