The small building in the foreground is the public library, where as a young nerd I spent much of my time. One winter ice formed on the top of the standpipe, which thawed and released the ice. I was reading at the library when, with a loud crashing sound, a large block of ice fell through the roof, hitting the nice librarian. We children were ushered out when help arrived, after seeing her bleeding from the head. I vaguely remember that she survived. I wonder how accurate my memory of 75 years ago really is? Does anyone know anything about this?
