We took a ride there after the sixth or seven fire engine went by. We parked in front Belknap Point Motel and walked in.
From the rear we could see right in the third story windows during the fire. My bet is that they will have to knock the whole place down. The fire was well up into the roof framing and the metal roof is obviously heat damaged. The second floor is at grade level in the back and water was pouring out six inches deep. My guess is the only salvagable part is the foundation and maybe those stone supports in the front.
We went by the front of the house on Sunday by car and then by boat. Too bad it burned, as it looked very nice and pretty well set into the landscape, they left a ton of trees on the water side of Scenic Drive.
Does anyone know who the builder or the owner are? Lot's of people at the fire had opinions on the cause, I will not repeat them.
Thankfully no one was hurt.
