That building in Concrete

Andrew asked me about the castle/ asylum/ crazy building in Concrete.  So I got the story on it.  It was the old High School in Concrete and a guy bought it with plans to turn it into a castle.  He put the turrets on it, then he got old and his family moved him to Bellingham (where I live).  He refused to sell the building to someone unless they would turn it into a castle.  So it stayed vacant.  Then last weekend some boys were playing with matches in the building and lit a mattress on fire.  They thought they put it out with their spit and left, but the building burned and is pretty much gone.  I guess the old guy did not insure it.
