A large two-story home in Sanford’s historic district that would have turned 100 years old next year was destroyed by a fire early Monday morning, causing a closure of all four lanes of Horner Boulevard for hours.
Sanford Fire Department was dispatched to 511 North Horner Boulevard at 5:51 a.m. Monday and found the nearly 3,000-square-foot historic home fully engulfed. According to SFD Chief Matthew Arnold, nobody was injured, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. The home is valued at roughly $220,000.
The home was located at the busy intersection of North Horner Boulevard and Weatherspoon Street, about a half mile northwest of downtown Sanford. Sanford Fire Department did not release names of the home’s owner or current residents.


I’m glad the house photo was taken prior to the fire.
Looks like a good place for a dollar general or mattress store. Thanks SFD.
That was my moms house. I lived there for my whole childhood. She passed in December and it was still in the family.
