Marblehead in Winter
 
 February and March, 2003
 
" . . . fire and ice, the artist's soul . . ."
 
In one week, Marblehead experienced a blizzard, 25 inches of snow falling in 24 hours on February 17th,  breaking all records . . . and then a raging fire which burned all night and destroyed the Rogers Building on School Street, a four-alarm fire. The Rogers building was over 100 years old and an architectural landmark . . . here are some photos of the aftermath of the blizzard and the fire.     m-c
