A little bummed out today

[squatting dog]

Another piece of my history is gone.
Just found out that the 120 year old mansion my dad restored in 1966 (me helping and learning) was destroyed by fire in January of 2018.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt.

I'm sorry; it looks like it was a gorgeous residence.

Yes it was, Took nearly 4 years to restore.
It featured 11 bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two partial bathrooms and a basement so huge, you could ride a go cart around down there. Can't see, but there was a full 2 story addition out the back side that held the servants quarters and garage's.
Wish now I had been smart enough to take a bunch of before pictures.

Oh no. Did you find out the cause of the fire? Also did your dad own the property or work on it? Looked like a beautiful home.

I'm sorry to hear this happened! It was so beautiful. Do you know if it was totally destroyed... or could someone have rebuilt since 2018?

Such a waste. Sad.
