    @ William totally agree.

    Sad to see that old house go. Surely a lot of history there.

    Thoughts and prayers to those affected… I hope everyone is ok.

    It’s crazy to see this house go. I am pretty sure I have driven past this house before. Looking at it, I agree that it was suspicious that the house burned down.

    I can look at the pictures and tell it was not lighting that started the fire. Looks suspicious.

    I can’t help but think about all the people that old house sheltered for 83 years, imagine the stories it would tell if it was able to share that history with us, all the happy cheerful moments and of course the sad, heart wrenching misery life can bring at times. Sorry to see you go house, only if houses could talk.
