This house was destroyed by arson on the night of Sunday, June 3, 1973. Someone soaked a rear storage area with gasoline and set the frame house ablaze. It was then the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex McCamey, whose 14-year-old daughter, Laverne, was in bed but still awake when she smelled smoke and alerted her mother. All five occupants escaped unharmed. The fire was detected at 10:16 p.m., burst through the roof, and took firemen over two hours to contain. A neighbor reported seeing a man running from the area just before the fire was discovered, but no arrests had been made as of the following day. The house was later replaced with the below.
