notes

From the preserve.org listserver (21 Sep 2001):
What I saw when I was down there was that the tall windows facing Church Street - probably bronze, but not sure- are blown out. The masonry seemed intact. I did not notice the roof collapse but perhaps this is only visible from above. I don't think the roof collapsed. -- Alex Herrera
