Hedderich's Building On Fire? -- July 10, 2017

A reader tells me that "Hedderich's Building" on Main Street, Williston, ND, is currently "burning to the ground." I'm sure details will follow.

Check twitter.

Here it is: via Twitter, from The Williston Herald.

From the linked story:

The Hedderich building, at the corner of Second and Main streets, was reported on fire around 5:45 p.m., according to Williston police. Firefighters were still on the scene shortly after 7:30 p.m.

Another one via twitter:

Also, at Twitter, a seven-second video.

For me this is really, really sad. I grew up with Hedderich's. I have many, many fond memories of visiting this store with my mom.

Wow, the loss of the Hedderich's building is really, really sad. It was the first department store (and only department store) for many years for my mother. She took me there often in the 50s and the 60s. Many memories.
