Glad I wasn't behind that when it went over. It looks like a movie set but I bet it's a good deal more solid. Looks like someone had a nice little office at the end of that corridor once. Talk about a room with a view...

Is that the entire doorway laying on the floor?

At first glance, I thought they were coffins, then I saw they were doors.

Em, I think it's the entire wall partition that fell over.

Cleaned up, in a nicer neighborhood, in a not-so-creepy-house, with a little more paint and a little less cold - it might make a nice bedroom. ^_^

Hey, Chey, you also might have to clean up some water and fire damage. The old girl was on fire this morning. Amanda's Mom told us.

That's horrible!!!!! What happened?

Not sure yet, but my guess would be arson...and that's just a guess at this time. There's so little left to burn, it's hard to imagine that it was a lightning strike. We'll try to find out somehow.

Please do. I would really appreciate it.

I can believe that it happened,.......... but it's just terrible.

I'll let you know if I hear any more. Right now I have to take my daughter to visit a friend in the hospital. Will let you know if there is anything more on the news tonight.

That partition is still laying there just like it is in the photo. I was standing on it yesterday trying to figure out where it once stood.

I must add, though, that the 4th floor is very badly damaged now from the fire and water. I couldn't look around up there very much because the floors were very weak and I didn't want to risk falling through.

Hey, any news on that fire?

Are you referring to the one about 2 weeks ago that burned the old white house security used? If that is the one, yes it was arson.
Truckie

Yes I believe that is the one I was refering to. Thanks for the update.

I love the Palladian windows -- also those crazy trees growing out of the roof. I don't know what kind of trees they are, but you see them all over Washington, D.C.

I find it hard to believe that when this partition had taken its toll and fell back, it didn't take any paint off of the side walls... Amazes me.

Ya know, that wall needed to go anyway. Looks much better now. Where is the cleanup crew?

Agreed with Nevermore. If that wall was up those two side windows would've been covered.
