This is like looking at the charred corpse of a dear friend... I look at it in stunned disbelief and try to hold back my anger until I know who to be angry with. Unbelievably sad.... posted by

Here's a link to a story that has a picture of the depot fully engulfed before it burned to the ground. http://www.turnto23.com/new... posted by

A hot one indeed. The entire face of the Kelcy's building took a lot of heat, check out the blistered paint and cracked windows when you walk by. Good job by the firefighters protecting the surrounding buildings. This could have taken out a large portion of historic downtown. And thank the lord the railroad collection and other antiques destined for the completed building remain safe in another location. posted by

I have heard that there is evidence of it being an accident. I am sure that is what will be found. It turns all our stomachs to imagine that it might have been arson; but that is not the case here, I'm sure. A damned heartbreak of an accident. I know nothing about the practicalities, ie insurance, city support, cost, plans, approvals....... But I assume the depot will be rebuilt with more donations, support, and volunteer help than even before. I intend to be more involved! Wayne Thompson posted by

Does anyone know if fire sprinklers had been installed as part of the renovation (or if they were, were they working)? I know lots of buildings all over the U.S. are saved with those. I was just curious if that was part of the renovation of this wood structure. Sometimes to renovate, upgrading commercial buildings with these are required. Just curious. posted by
