Walls Collapse At Old Marsh Music Store Addition
Friday morning about six o'clock the back wall of the one story addition to the B A Marsh music store collapsed. The structure dated to 1872 when the Rerontican moved into the Dickerman building and was built as a press room. Ben sees no hardship as a new wall was planned and collapse saves tearing it down.
