Historic Waverly, Ohio, restaurant damaged by fire

0

WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) — A southern Ohio landmark restaurant has been badly damaged by fire.
The
historic Emmitt House in Waverly burned Monday night as firefighters
dealt with frigid temperatures trying to put it out. Officials said the
eatery, built as a hotel in 1861, is probably a total loss.
The
building has gone through several owners over recent years and several
openings and closings. The current owner had reopened it in September.
But
it has gained national exposure for supposedly being haunted, most
recently in March when it was featured on an episode of the SyFy Network
series "Haunted Collector."
Around 60 firefighters from several area departments fought the blaze in below-zero temperatures.
Waverly is about 60 miles south of Columbus.
