Fire in Sherbrooke St. greystone
The Gazette notes a serious fire in a row of handsome graystone buildings on Sherbrooke Street downtown. This row has already seen serious fire damage – it used to connect onto the Medical Arts building but that section burned down and was demolished some years ago, the missing buildings having housed, among other things, the original location of Nebula bookshop and the Amrad African art gallery.
Later reports note that hundreds of art pieces were saved and that the fire does not appear to have been arson.
