The Margarita's in Mansfield, CT was completely destroyed in 2000 and rebuilt using harvested old barn timber. I never went there before the fire but it's a lovely place to eat.

The Common Man in Lincoln also burned down, and was rebuilt, including reproducing the famous fireplace.

There is a theme here that these barns are a hazard.

But hopefully, all hope is not lost.

I think they build the new place in Lincoln around the fireplace. It was the only thing left standing.

You're absolutely right…we were having lunch at the Common Man in Ashland on Saturday the manager came by to see how we were doing we got talking about the Woodshed she told us about the fire in Lincoln she was the manager at the time and said that the fireplace was the only thing they saved.

Maybe the Common Man will open a restaurant there if the Woodshed can't/won't reopen? I know it wouldn't be the same but it would be better than nothing.

Does anyone know if a cause of the fire has been determined?

There was an article in the Union Leader yesterday stating that they are still investigating.

Has there been any information on how they intend to deal with gift certificates to the Woodshed? There is no information on their website & I cannot find a working telephone number. Thanks.

Oh no! That happened to us a long time ago. We had a gift certificate to that place near Irwin's on Union Ave and didn't use it before it burned. 50$ was quite a bit way back when to lose.

They probably won't pay the gift certificates until they settle their insurance claim. Just a guess on my part but it seems logical that their cash flow won't support paying gift certificates at this point.
