This building is adjacent to the photo of the building Mural In Progress I posted yesterday. It was destroyed by fire April 3, 2019 and is still standing. I took this photo on May 10, 2019. The photo of the Mural In Progress was taken September 13, 2019. You can read about the fire here. The street has been closed ever since the fire occurred.

On one corner of the town square a new memory is being made with the Mural, while on another corner a building waits to be buried. Such is the life of a small town.

EDIT--The link showing the fire might not work for everyone. Below is a portion of the information given at the time.
