When we peered out our back window this morning we were greeted by the sight of the charred remains of the top floor of 101 Cambridge. According to a member of the clean-up crew this morning, it was “just your basic house fire.” None of the other floors of the four-family brownstone were damaged and no one was injured. Any eye witnesses out there? GMAP
Owner, all the best to you. Keep us posted.
Hi, I’m the owner of 101 Cambridge. Thanks to everyone’s well wishes and offers to help. I have traveling out of the country, and am on my way home now; I live(d) in the lower duplex. The upper duplex was rented by a brother and sister. Yes, the cornice was destroyed by the fire, and there is apparently water damage down to the basement. I’m not sure when the house will be habitable again, but the fire damage was limited to the top floor.
I am glad that no one was seriously injured.
So many angry people. Whoever offered to help is awesome, thoughtful, generous, and I’m sure will be doing so without anyone’s unnecessary advice.
I’m down for the cause too. email me if you need hands, feet, or just general contact info for stuff I might be able to help with but can’t think of right now . . . izmonk (at sign) g m a i l dot com
underneat my brownstone facade is brick.
‘underneat’ you scalp your head is brick.
I guess that 3:54 is just trying to be helpful, but I don’t think anyone would be home to answer the doorbell.
Between the brick and brownstone fronts and the brick rears, these houses are entirely of wood, not just the interior walls but also the floor joists, the floors, the stairs, and the roof.
Alo the correct term is “cockloft”. a cuckold is a man whose wife is sleeping with other men. Just FYI.
