Ground was broken in November, 1883, and the corner stone was laid in January, 1884. The building was dedicated December 20, 1884. The architect was Mr. A.B. Jennings, of New York, and the building was erected by Messers, Doerzbach and Decker, of Sandusky, Ohio. Warner Hall contains offices, a musical library, lecture rooms, a small studio theatre, and one hundred and fifty studio and practice rooms. In 1887, the north wing of the building was constructed, including the concert hall. In the summer of 1890 a balcony was added, and the concert hall was dedicated. In 1902 an organ was secured from Mr. Harold Kimball, of Rochester, N.Y., partly by gift and partly by purchase, representing a value of $14,000. In the years 1903 and 1904 the concert hall was remodeled, two hundred additional seats were added to the audience room, and other repairs were made. The Kimball organ was replaced in 1928 by a new Skinner organ, at a cost of $29,500. New seats were installed in 1926, the gift of Mrs. Warner. The concert hall seats eight hundred persons. Warner Hall has a frontage of 120 feet on College Street and 150 feet on professor Street. At August 31, 1936, the value of Warner Hall was estimated at $175,000, musical instruments and apparatus $80,000, and the music library $3,000. [Warner Hall was further refurbished in 1940, 1950, 1952, 1954, and 1955. It was demolished in October 1964 to make way for H.C. King Memorial Hall.])

The blocked crossing
I want to thank Dr. Runser, Dr. Fisk, Dr. Koberstein, doctors and nurses in the emergency squad at Elyria Memorial Hospital for saving my life and for the wonderful care I got in intensive care.
I want to thank the Ridgeville Ambulance Service. They did everything Godly possible. What can they do when a train is blocking the traffic on Rt. 20 by the Bendix Westinghouse Automotive Ari Brake Co.? They can't turn around becasue Maddock and Rt. 76 crossing are probably blocked by trains.
The ambulance arrived at my home in two minutes, but it arrived at the hospital over ten minutes late. I had no pulse. I had an asthma attack, but I ended up with heart damage, blood clots, fractured ribs which were caused from the respirator that gave me back my breath.
But who do I thank for the train? There will be others that won't make it. Maybe a young father with small children who will pay with his life. Who will they than?
I thank God for my life. Can't something be done about those trains before it is too late?
