Highland Inn Damaged By Fire

Decatur Metro | February 6, 2009

UPDATE II: The Highland Inn comments below and confirms that they are still open for business!

UPDATE: 11Alive reports ” The fire caused damage to four rooms and other rooms have smoke and water damage.”

I’m hearing reports of a fire at the Highland Inn in Poncey-Highlands this morning.  Looks like David is too. He’s reporting “extensive smoke and water damage.”  Also a mention by someone on Yelp.

I hope the damage isn’t too bad.  Atlanta can’t afford to lose any more historic landmarks.  Below is a pic I found on Flickr.  There’s a second photo here.

In case you’re not familiar with the building, here’s a photo I took of it back in December…

    We were at Manuels getting a drink, and left around 12:30. They already had the road blocked off and several fire trucks outside, but I never saw smoke or fire in the front. So sad to hear.
