Austin Texas Mold Mansion

On June 8, the Governor’s Mansion burned. Then the fire was put out, inundating the 156-year-old Greek Revivalist building with water. Now the cleanup is underway, with crews hauling out buckets of ashes, debris and the mold resulting from all of that water. In fact just dealing with the mold is a major undertaking in itself. 1.84 million–so far–is pledged to restore the historic building.
