Fire in Historic Tavern

I posted a picture of Lancaster Tavern last year. It has been almost constantly in use as a tavern/inn since 1790, except for the years 1894-1982 when it served as a private residence.

About six weeks ago there was a fire that started on the top floor where someone was living. Faulty wiring is assumed to be the cause. Thankfully no one was hurt.

In my first comment, I am posting a photo of how it looked before the fire. That photo is of the other side, but this side shows the roof damage better. The owners say they will rebuild.

Located in Lancaster County, Virginia.
