GDG- Fw: Historic Biggs Farmhouse Damaged by Fire at GettysburgNational Military Park

[Gettysburg Engineering]

That is the house, most commonly known as the Peter Fry farm.  It's most
recent fame is Sparky the mule  roaming the fields.  I drove by at lunch and
it is swarming with GNMP workers repairing the damage.  Part of the roof
next to the Taneytown Road was burnt off.  It was a wood shingle roof.
There did not appear to be any outer damage to the house except the roof,
although there is water damage inside.  The yard was filled with items they
were moving out of the house from water damage.  It is always sad to seen
someone's home damaged or destroyed.  The sprinkler system which was
installed just a few years ago was well worth it.
