Adna Brown Hotel, Springfield, VT

Several days ago I wrote a long history here of the Adna Brown Hotel - posted it - and had it disappear.
No amount of backspacing, command z -ing would help.
Grrrrr.
So, this is an abbreviated history, I'm afraid. (Also, a postcard. Sorry.)
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: HOTELS/MOTELS.
The Adna Brown was a powerful, iconic center of Springfield, Vermont - as I heard when I lived there in the 1970s (when it was already gone) and as learned by me much later from my husband's grandmother's diaries, (Ada May Grimshaw-Illingworth, 1913 - 1918.)
It burned down Jan. 1st, 1961.
The attached Ellis block burned in 1981, and was burned again several years ago by a teenage arsonist. That fire also melted the Simpsons Donut - a statue awarded to Springfield by the Simpson Show after a national contest to find the best (most like show) Springfield.
Not sure if the donut was replaced. : )
