DAMAGE MINIMAL AT FORMER FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

(Richmond, IN)--Richmond firefighters were called to the former Indiana Football Hall of Fame building on North A Street Monday.  The call came in at around 1:30 Monday afternoon.  It turned out to be relatively minor.   "There were some contractors working on the building and they basically caught the window frame on fire with a torch," said Battalion Chief Jerry Benjamin.  The Football Hall of Fame closed in 2021.  Long before that, the building served as Richmond’s post office.  About a year ago, the National Register of Historic Districts in Richmond said that "good things are coming for the building", but was never more specific.  There have been no subsequent announcements.
