On 1/3/14, just after midnight, firefighters responded to a box alarm at the vacant Odd Fellows Lodge in North Attleboro. They found a fire in a back stairwell, but weather complicated things, giving the fire time to spread to occupied apartments next door. When all was said and done, the blaze had reached 4 alarms and the building was destroyed. Unfortunately, I was at work when the fire was burning, but stopped by when I got out to grab some shots of the after scene. Just as I was leaving the scene, demolition crews began to tear into the side of the building. What a sad way to go.

The building, as seen in "The North Attleboro Book" published in 1913.
And as seen in a Sun Chronicle photo from 1982.
