The Death of a Building in Mariposa.
After the south wall gave way during the early morning hours the
day before, the following day the demolition crew arrived putting an
end to the Trabucco Warehouse and taking a piece of
Mariposa's heart with it.

It was one of only a few buildings to survive a huge fire in 1866.
