Tragic news out of Martinsburg, WV:

The former B&O Miller Tower, which had been moved years ago to grounds adjacent to the Martinsburg Roundhouse Museum, was arsoned or accidentally set afire last night, apparently by homeless squatters that had broken in weeks earlier.

Restoration had yet to begin on the derelict tower account inadequate funds.

How tragic. Will the people experiencing homelessness be afforded another safe shelter? Are there any other interlocking towers they can live in?
