GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)

It is reasonably well written:
It is factually accurate and verifiable:
- Checks of Refs 3, 7 and 13 show they back up the article's content.
- Spotting a few web and book references you might be able to use as well [1] [2] [3] [4]
It is broad in its coverage:
Not Yet
- The lead should more completely summarize the article, maybe a few more sentences of content on the subject.

I have expanded the lead, hope it is adequate.

- What was John W. Herron's profession or notability? Considering he's the namesake, makes sense to know this.

He was a Cincinnati judge and the president of Miami's board of trustees. This is in the article, but I will make it more evident.

- The article needs some more information on the physical details of the building. How large was it? How tall? Where was it located?

I'm not sure information on the dimensions is readily available but I will add the location.

- Any details on what it was built from or who built it?

Likely built from red brick as that is what most old Miami buildings were but I don't know if this is verifiable. From the sources you provided I can add a little bit of information about the architect.

- Maybe some context for the building's role. Was this the school's only gym when it was built or were there others? What happened with enrollment in this time that caused the building not to be usable as some other kind of building?

I have added that it was the first gym and that the construction of new gyms was what caused it to change roles.

It follows the neutral point of view policy:
Pass No problems there.
It is stable:
Pass No problems there.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
Pass The images appear to be appropriately sourced with PD tags.
Other:
On Hold Pending a few fixes. —Ed!^(talk) 00:30, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ed!: I have gone through and made the changes. Apologies for not pinging you earlier. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 06:00, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Most of my above comments have been addressed as much as can be possible. I'll note based on these recommendations, the nominator has added 1.8K bytes of new content to the page. Based on these, I see nothing else holding it up from the GA criteria. Pass for the GA Nomination. —Ed!^(talk) 23:07, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
