[MassHistPres] Fwd: Adler and Sullivan building burns

[Dennis De Witt]

The most dangerous time in the life of a building can be when it is  
being restored because of the use of soldering and heat guns.   
Recently a palace in russia burned -- the metal roof was being worked  
on.  I once saw the medieval timber roof of the Mechelen Cathedral in  
Belgium burn -- the lead roof was being worked on.  Now see the  
article linked below about a Sullivan building just lost in the same  
way.
