Heidelberg Arson Wave Continues As Blaze Damages 12th Structure

November 24, 2014, 7:17 AM

Another Heidelberg Project house has burned — the 12th in 18 months to go up in flames in the art installation project on Detroit's east side, Christina Hall reports in the Free Press.

The Taxi House on Mt. Elliott remains standing after the blaze in the two-block art project.

According to a posting on the Heidelberg Project's website, the Taxi House, at the end of Heidelberg Street, is still standing despite its age and primarily wooden construction.

The posting continued:

We are thankful for the hard work of the Detroit Fire Department to contain and extinguish the blaze before the entire structure was engulfed. As of now, we don't know much about the fire and are still trying to learn as much as we can.

This fire comes only one year after a string of arson attacks destroyed four HP homes in less than one month. As we have been taking time to reflect on that chaotic period, we have been repeatedly reminded of the love we received from all of you. Thank you all for your support as we continue to face this negative force; spirits are high. We know one thing better than ever: "You can't burn a vision."
