Church Burned After Finalizing Remodeling in Rochester

The True Memorial Baptist Church in Rochester New Hampshire, a 77 year old wooden frame building built in 1883, was destroyed in a two alarm fire that started likely at a basement furnace hours after Rev. Robert P. Dugan announced the remodeling was finished and debt paid. Fire Chief Ralph G. Seavey put the loss at about 75000 dollars and noted only the pastor's personal fire apparatus was saved. The roof collapsed during the blaze and the church likely must be replaced within two to three years.
