Sebastopol’s Oldest Business Burns

Posted 14 July 2013

Frizelle Enos, a feed store turned pet supply that was reportedly the oldest business in Sebastopol, burned tonight in a massive fire.

Like many area residents, we have long bought much of our dog and cat food there, and it is sad to see the old building go. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries, and the animals are ok.

I hope they had good insurance. The building didn’t quite burn to the ground, because of its cinder-block walls, but it is a shell and will have to be demolished.

As the first picture below shows, it was only a few hundred feet from Webvanta’s office (in the foreground).

I’ve posted on Flickr a more extensive set of pictures of the Frizelle Enos fire.
