This building in Sturgis is the current home of Dr. Kember & Susan Heine. It was once the dormitory for The Ohio Valley College. It was erected in 1907 and called the McGill Home. The Academy was founded in 1895 by the Baptists of Union County, Kentucky. It was a two story brick building on a tree shaded campus of twelve acres. It had a regular college department, teacher training, commercial courses and music. Due to lack of funds the Academy closed in 1914. When the building was dismantled the materials were used in the construction of the First Baptist Church of Sturgis. The dormitory, although considerably damaged by a fire, was sold as a private home.
