Steve and Pauline Mihojevich were chosen to receive the Bristol Beautification Award last month.  The Mihojevich’s have owned the home for 25 years restoring the home to its original splendor and completing all of the work themselves.

The 6,000 sq. ft. home has housed everything from a nursing home to an antique and jewelry shop.  Pauline also operated a bed and breakfast there for 8 years.

Often known as the Milburn house, the home has been the center of many tales, particularly ghost stories and claims of unexplained missing items.

Nominations for the beautification award can be emailed to: bristolnews@aol.com or mailed to the Bristol Bugle, P.O. Box 414, Bristol, IN 46507.
