A piece of Carterville history has been reduced to a pile of smoldering rubble. The old Fred’s Dance Barn just off Grand Avenue went up in flames around 11 p.m. July 3.
According to the website Southern Illinois Fire Incidents, crews from Cambria, Herrin, Hurst and Williamson County Fire Protection District provided mutual for Carterville. Our crew on scene says the building has been destroyed.
Fred’s closed in December 2006, but is currently owned by the Carterville Unit 5 School District. The building was being used as storage. Countless trophies sets for plays and antique school furniture were among the things lost in the fire.
