Fire destroys Josh Billings House on Main Street Berkshire

A blaze engulfed the Josh Billings House in Lanesboro causing about 100000 dollars in damage. Firefighters remained at the scene as embers smoldered, and a 24 hour guard was ordered. The landmark, built in 1828 by Henry Vinal Shaw, has a history as Taconic Institute and Hillcrest Inn before recent restoration. In Clarksburg a masked bandit robbed a birthday party at Lucille Levanos home, taking up to 500 dollars after forcing entry with a shotgun. The woman and her 16 year old son resisted briefly before others were herded to a basement wall.
