Here Are the Day After Pictures I Just Took
History
The Wake Forest Museum has an excellent piece on the old house. Click here.
Sad Shame all the work someone was doing to restore it.
A little background on the house would be nice. 🙂

Any word on what happened
Feel so bad for the people that were restoring it! Such a shame that a beautiful historic house is gone.
Convenient.
This is so sad. So much work to give it new life, and now it is all gone. One less piece of our history.
I drive by this house EVERY day…their restoration was looking AWESOME….this is soooooo sad. Wonder what started this fire??
