A fire engulfed the building on July 8, 2012, consuming most of the remaining combustibles (the largely-intact walls being made of brick).[3] The property was purchased by the Town of Colchester in 2015 (for $1), with plans to remove the building and redevelop the site as a public park.Template:R[5] The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut removed the adjacent dam in 2016.[6]
