Sorry to hear Texas Gov's mansion burned!

Sounds like a lot of history was lost, but nobody was home so nobody was hurt.

This morning when Ernest posted it was the first I had heard about it. It saddens me. It was a grand old place.

The State Fire Marshal is saying he suspects arson.
Luckily the historic furnishings and heirlooms had been removed for the renovation.
