Fire Destroys an Antibellum House

[Max Rockatansky]

Stuff happens and things get destroyed.   Yes when they do, especially something that stood there for so long.

This won't be the last time an old icon, structure, or symbol will perish.  Heck even US 66 was lost, and it was another highway.

A lot of burned ruins of roadside attractions along the corridors which comprised US 66 have become famed roadside attractions.  From what I've gathered many of those structures weren't even notable (thinking of Cadiz Summit) until they became ruins.  I'm fairly convinced that US 66 is more famous now because of all the modern lore building than it ever was as an active highway.
