Sparks-Withington factory destroyed by fire
#8

Sad thing is, we might never know the cause as fire is very good at destroying the evidence of its cause. Even if the building is still standing, it is often too unsafe to enter for investigation and any cause of the fire is lost in the demolition. A good example is the once beautiful Freemasons Temple that burnt down in Zanesville, Ohio. Even though the floor that the fire started on was basically still there, the structure was too much of a hazard to enter or even leave up as it was totally gutted from that floor on up. This was a building still in use for shops for all seven floors. Once in a rare while you do get an AH Ha moment like when they found out a cheap desk lamp from Walmart burnt the third floor and roof off a 125 year old building near me or the remains of one the Molatov cocktail bottles that was used to burn down the Garver's building in Strasburg, Ohio, but it's rare. Now if it somehow started on a concrete slab in the bottom of the building, there is a chance. That's what happened with the Garver's building as one bottle did not make it all the way in and landed on the concrete right inside the door. Sorry for the long winded reply.

No matter where you go, there you are.
