Lightning Strikes Historic Ottawa Building

A little more history happened to an historic building in downtown Ottawa yesterday morning.  Lightning blasted the top of the chimney off the 154-year old Reddick Mansion.  A shower of bricks accompanied the rain shower around the mansion.  Reddick has been a tourist attraction since 1974.  It sits right across the street from the location of the first 1858 U.S. Senate debate between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.
