Miss Williamsburg Diner on Kent Goes Up in Flames

The old Miss Williamsburg Diner on Kent Avenue went up in flames last night. These photos were shot by INSIJS who is all over the Avenue when he’s available. He’s got a post up about the fire on his blog. The fire gutted the diner and damaged the adjacent art collective. It broke out around 2AM. Just the other day we had put our camera to the window to see what it looked like in there.

    Those are awesome photos. My husband got a bunch of similar type photos when a structure in our own neighborhood went up in smoke.

    I absolutely hate seeing things like this when innocent people lose what is near and dear to them. Those are some pretty incredible photos of the fire. I have never seen a property on fire in real life, but these pictures make me feel like I am actually there.

    Nice pictures – though it’s a shame that such a historic building was burned down. Sad… 🙁

    My aunt’s house was near the scene. She said that it was truly devastating.

    Great photos! Unfortunate anytime we lose a piece of historical property though.
