The house that burned downtown today.
 
Monroe and ? (Near Spalding) Why was there no investigation as to what caused the fire? Was this posted or public knowledge somewhere? I've read it was a hazard and so they demolished it immediately. Seems really quick for such a beautiful and old landmark house, unless the insurance payout and lot were that profitable for someone renting it out. And on that note..what a sad scenario for those residents.

From what i have seen in my time here someone dropped there crack pipe and the place went up. Its a damn shame a scumlord got ahold of that place and turned it into a frankenhouse.

I can't even believe those 'after' photos. It looks like someone is about to host a community bonfire. It's all down, that quick.

stayathomemommy.......... This house had been there for years. I don't remember how many apartments were in it. It was like a community house it housed people that had mental issues or kind of slow. Not trying to be rude. They needed help and this was a cheep place for them to live. If It were a crack haven it would of been busted years ago. Not saying that there was some that smoked crack there but it was better than that. Now 25 people do not have a place to stay and will be hard for them to find this type of housing. The reason they tore it down unsafe and around here they would of been trying to get in it.

I just can't believe that no one has brought up the misspelling in the Peoria.com headline regarding this house fire. Hard to believe folks. Hard to believe.

After reading 'to Loose' all I keep thinking is Toulouse-Lautrec
