That restaurant was a two alarm structure fire back over the summer. I worked at that scene, there was heavy interior damage and moderate exterior damage, especially on the east side of the building. It drew the response of about fifteen local fire departments and was knocked down quickly (and the building saved) due to their quick work. I did grab photos of MOAY passing the scene at a crawl - we had them tied down at Farley for a few hours to allow the crews to attack the fire from the area of the railroad tracks.
The local papers here in the North Quabbin region have been reporting a lot of fundraisers for the owners to reopen, so we can be hopeful this historic structure will be preserved as a profitable business for a long time to come!
