On February 15, a permit was granted for TB Scott Mansion in Merrill to be demolished. The destruction team will have 45 days to complete the project. Basically what we have here is a property issue. Ascension will be selling the hospital and all the surrounding property to Aspirus. The mansion is being torn down as part of that sale, City hall administrator David Johnson said.
Johnson also said that he is sad to see the building demolished, like most of the city of Merrill, however the building has sat empty for 20 years.
