Massive Blaze Destroys Downtown Bryan Saddlery

[Aggie]

Flames and heavy smoke filled the air in Downtown Bryan Sunday and power was out in the area as crews fought the blaze near Main and 22nd Streets.
Huge clouds of smoke could be seen for miles in Bryan as flames fully engulfed a the Court's Saddlery Building.
The massive fire broke out around 4:45 P.M. Sunday and firefighters entered the structure briefly but had to fall back because of concerns the roof would collapse.
News 3 spoke with several members of the Court family who'd had their business in Bryan since 1956.
While no one was injured, the family has now lost their livelihood.
Flames and smoke billowed out of control Sunday afternoon in Downtown Bryan reducing the Court's Saddlery store to ashes.

Court's was known for their handmade saddles and tack. I worked for them while attending Texas A&M. At one time they made all the trophy saddles for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

I'm sorry to hear this, Aggie.  I hope they can rebuild.

Sorry, Aggie.
