Downtown Antrim Fire

I woke up and put the tv on this morning to hear “fire in Antrim”.

I live in a very small town and one of the larger buildings along Main Street was destroyed by fire overnight. The broadcast was coming live from Main Street and when I first saw the building I thought it was the Inn.

The building that burned is the yellow one on the left in my photo (taken in May 2009) below. Story Here.

This view is pretty much all of our Main Street and now one of the larger buildings is gone. I am heading down to the little store this afternoon and will see about getting some photos.

The building housed a hair salon, bakery and an apartment I think.

The picture below is from Wikipedia and is a c.1915 postcard.
I am not sure if the building on the left is the same one…?
