I was able to show it to my daughter, who was too young then to remember it, and my son who had never seen it. It was beautiful then and my parents loved it. This was a good trip down memory lane.

The fire department would have never issued a permit for burning because of the hazardous materials contained in the building. The matter has been turned over to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for review.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143521756215018631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-68782151643322059892017-09-19T15:15:27.298-07:002017-09-19T15:15:27.298-07:00Dinah - Thank you for the update.
