Rebuilding Hope After Davis Hotel Fire in Kidney NC
Fire at the Davis Hotel in Kidney, North Carolina, destroyed the hotel and some outbuildings. Insurance valued at $16,000 covered stables, mall and factory buildings, with only the hotel area burned. Residents fear full recovery may not cover losses of $50,000 or more, as guests fled and valuables were damaged or destroyed. Local authorities controlled the scene overnight amid exploding cartridges and a thunderstorm, while appeals for rebuilding or repurposing the property grew louder.
