Gibbs Street

Miller Center Makes Debut

Music legend and Eastman School alumnus Mitch Miller ’32E has a new place to call “home” on Gibbs Street.

Last fall, the Eastman School formally dedicated Eastman Place, a building at 25 Gibbs Street that houses the Sibley Music Library, school administrative offices, a restaurant, and several businesses, to the memory of Miller’s parents, Abram Calmen and Hinda Rosenblum Miller. The building has been renamed the Miller Center.

A classical oboist, Miller enjoyed a successful career as a record company executive, a network TV star, and a symphonic and pops conductor.

The Miller Center is the latest in an initiative to give Gibbs Street a more cohesive feel as the Eastman School’s downtown campus. Last spring, the school bought a building at 10 Gibbs Street, which will house the Eastman Community Music School and administrative offices of the school.
