A historic home in Garner burned to the ground after a fire broke out Sunday afternoon.
The call was reported around 4:30 p.m. in the 4400 block of Wilmington Road.
The Bass family, who owns the home, could only watch as their home that’s been passed down for at least six generations burned down. “You see it on the ground like it is and it hurts,” said homeowner Wallace Bass. “It can’t be replaced, it can’t be replaced. No way, no how. It’s just gone.”
According to property records, the home was built in 1909. The family claims they’ve owned the property for about 200 years.
No one was home at the time of the fire and no one was hurt.
Investigators are still working to figure out what started the fire.
