Old Manse is a historic building at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio). Once nicknamed the “Coffee Mill House,” [1] Old Manse originally served as a residential estate and then as a manse for pastors. It later became a center for Presbyterian students and was sold by Oxford Presbyterian Church (USA) to become Miami University property in 1973.[2] From 2012 to 2021, it was home to the University Honors Program (now Miami University Honors College). In 2022-23, it was renovated to house the Miami University Office of ASPIRE which encompasses Government Relations through the government relations network, Work+ programs, the College@Elm, and AmeriCorps Service+ programs.[3]
