NORWICH, Vt.–A barn dating back to the 1800s is one of the buildings that caught on fire in Vermont this week due to lightning strikes.
Anne Crewe’s home and barns in Norwich are on the state Register of Historic Places.
Firefighters put out a fire at her barn on Route 132 Tuesday. It was just a few feet from her home. The fire did not spread.
Part of the barn’s first floor was destroyed; the second floor had limited damage.
The Valley News reports (bit.ly/MbDnEE) the property had been on the state register since 1977.
Crewe said she was unsure what she planned to do with the barn.
