Loss of historic Thomas barn shocks Harris County
A lightning strike during a storm destroyed the National Register of Historic Places Thomas barn in Rooks County near Woodston. Mourners visited the site as the 100 by 64 by 64 foot structure lay in ashes, its foundation too small to support the vast roof and cupolas. Restoration efforts by Ken Armbold had been underway, with community support and local donations toward a $100,000 project.
