On February, 26, 2019, the City of Celina, Ohio notified the owners of the Lininger Building it was unsafe and they had 60 days to make the upgrades or the city will proceed and financially access the owners. On social media airways, a campaign “Save Old Millie” has gained awareness.

Located on the corner of South Main and Fayette Streets, the building is registered on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Celina, Ohio Main Street Commercial District (# 82001474). The building has had various businesses over the years, including its the longest owner and tenant, Mildred Lininger.
Before the city acts on the violations, the mission is to save the building for historical and cultural value to the community; therefore, help is needed – GoFundMe page (https://www.gofundme.com/save-historic-old-millie) has been established as well as Twitter@SaveOldMillie and Facebook account -Save Old Millie. We ask for your donation, regardless of the amount because all charitable proceeds will be produce much good for historical and cultural results.
And the Northwest Passage Record and Art-to-Art Palette Journal, including their affiliates support words by Golda Meir, stateswoman, politician and the fourth Prime Minister of Israel. “I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.” We encourage these building owners to never, never give up.

“One thing that stirs me when I look back at my youthful days is the fact that so many people gave me something or were something to me without knowing it. Such people with whom I have, perhaps, never exchanged a word, yes, and others about whom I have merely heard things by report, have had a decisive influence upon me; they entered into my life and became powers within me…. Hence I always think that we all live, spiritually, by what others have given us in the significant hours of our life.” Albert Schweitzer
