It was almost torn down before a group of fans raised money to save it in 1907.<br />Cécilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718744271183204774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403324748225602006.post-21223899688483892702016-08-22T18:08:42.053-07:002016-08-22T18:08:42.053-07:00Great post, thanks for putting it together!
