Historic Landmark Fire

The Loss

After 200 years a building is seen as permanent part of the neighborhood landscape. A constant in the ever-changing look of our city. Featured in films, movies and photo shoots its location is not only ideal but its architecture and design have only enhanced some of the most memorable scenes on film. When a candle was left unattended no one could have imagined the damage that this church sustained.

The fire department was called and the blaze was extinguished in a matter of minutes but the damage had been done. The roof was compromised, smoke and soot covered every surface from the attic truss space to the gym in the basement. Fire had burned through walls, floors and ceilings. The water used to put out the fire has soaked into the floors, plaster walls and molding.
