Posted May 21, 201015 yr *Village in Monroe County *Population of 505 at the 2000 Census. One of Maybee's oldest building (1873) was just destroyed by a fire. You will see the building later in the thread. Here is the building destoyed by fire. It was built in 1873 and has been used as a bed and breakfast, dance hall and movie house. Right before the fire it was used as apartments, called home by 6 people. The owner really wants it saved and restored.

May 21, 201015 yr ^ :laugh: Nice bricks, cute town; the village hall is a gem! Sad about the fire. Insulbrick siding is awful in a fire; you may as well wrap an oil-soaked wrag around the building. The substrate is shredded paper-like fiber impregnated with asphalt, and once it heats up to ignition temperature, it takes off like a torch. I saw a house with that stuff burn. As it heated up, the exterior started to smoke. Then, a window blew out and the flames reached the siding, and in seconds the whole house was sheathed in flames.
