Ready for removal

A fence has been placed as a deterrent in front of a house owned by Keith Larmie in Bethel, Vt., seen on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, that collapsed in April. The building was struck by a tractor trailer in 2018 and has since been unoccupied. Bethel Town Manager Therese Kirby said Larmie has informed her that he has a contractor lined up to demolish the building but the removal will have to be coordinated with New England Central Railroad, which runs a short distance behind the house. "Every time I come to work, I'm like, was it removed," said Kirby, who drives past the site on South Main Street on her way to the nearby town offices. (Valley News - James M.
